Day: November 6, 2026
The Dow fell 1,833 points and erased its entire post-election rally, the Nasdaq dropped 5.5 percent into correction, and Nvidia alone lost $374 billion in a day. The trigger wasn’t earnings.
Voters put 50 data-center measures on Tuesday’s ballots and killed the projects in 47 of them, a quarter of all planned US capacity sits in Texas, and Texas just elected a governor, Gina Hinojosa, who campaigned against the buildout.
Meta’s own president said data centers were “front and center” in the exit polls.
UBS figures 30 percent of planned capacity is now at risk by 2028; OpenAI rushed out a pledge the same afternoon to cut power use at peak hours and keep residents’ bills down.
Trump blamed Democrats for the drop and he’s half right: the market is pricing in what the new Congress and new governors do to the AI boom.
The other half is that voters in Lubbock and Collin County looked at $4 gas and a grid strained by server farms and decided they weren’t paying for Silicon Valley’s electricity.

3 hours before the shooting, 35 year old Jacob Pearson allegedly threatened to turn up with a rifle and body armor unless the court case was cancelled.
Around 12:10 PM, he drove his car through Citibank security gates and fatally shot 41 year old advisor LeAnne Selmon.
Investigators say that Selmon had no connection to Pearson.
Marine veteran and security guard John Fraley shot him before he could kill more. Pearson died later in hospital.
