“It was inevitable”: Musk announced Trump’s victory in the US elections

“The American people have given Trump a very clear mandate for change,” Musk wrote. He also commented on a publication from the Polymarket service, which allows betting on cryptocurrencies, which estimated Trump’s probability of victory at 69.9%. “It was inevitable,” said the billionaire.

Musk later posted a meme of him entering the Oval Office holding a sink. This is a reference to the video that the businessman aware after purchasing Twitter in the fall of 2022. In the video, Musk brings a sink into the company’s office. Musk accompanied both posts with the caption “Deja eso se assimile”, which can be translated simultaneously as “Realize this” and “Let that assimilate.”

In recent weeks, Musk has become one of Trump’s most visible supporters. He had donated at least $132 million to his campaign as of late October, according to Fortune.

The businessman also created the America PAC committee, which organized daily drawings of 1 million dollars. To participate in the drawing, voters in key states had to sign a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments to the United States Constitution.

Against the backdrop of Trump’s expected victory, shares of Musk’s automaker Tesla rose 2.9% in the latest trading on the Nasdaq, reaching $258.7.

Last week, Trump said in an interview with Tucker Carlson that Musk would receive an “influential position” in the presidential administration if he wins the election. Speaking at a rally in Florida on November 6, Trump highlighted Musk’s achievements and praised his contribution to the development of space technology, calling the businessman a “super-genius.”

Experts interviewed by Bloomberg believe that Musk could become a mediator in trade relations between the United States and China if Trump wins the presidential election.
