I'm absolutely opposed to Musk and happy to see anyone trying to diminish his power... But, Slim having some connections to organized crime (cartels) seems much less far fetched than other Musk outbursts.
I can't see why the midterms would do anything to unseat him. Thus far what we've gotten from the current administration is exactly what they promised. I don't see why anybody would change their vote (or decision not to vote).
The House is close enough that the ordinary midterm power shifts could suffice to change it. And that would at least enable a certain amount of investigation-cum-harassment. But it's less likely to change both houses, and unless that happens with a substantial margin, it'll be hard to pass significant legislation to change anything.

Hopefully, today, you realized what midterms will do to unseat him. The mockery of what US stands for has been going on since Jan/20 and people have been watching.
So let's be clear, Musk, when a deal seems possible, "Cartels? None of my business, not my problem, let's make a deal."
Musk, when it falls through, "Oh, he's just in bed with the cartels. I wouldn't want to do business with him."
He and Trump have a lot alike in that regard. "Best people, smartest people" when they're new and still in favor. "Who?" "Stupid person, who hired him?" when not.
Basically all politicians in Mexico are “serving at the pleasure of the cartels” so to say, so it would be far fetched to think the cartes don’t try to extract concessions from the wealthy as well. Plata o plomo
