Elon Musk rejoices ‘the future will be great’ as Donald Trump moves closer to White House victory: X chief posts photo from Oval Office ahead of Cabinet role

Elon Musk rejoices that ‘the future will be great’ as his friend Donald Trump moves closer to victory in the US elections.

The X chief posted a photo of himself photoshopped in the Oval Office as he is expected to be one of several billionaires to join the Republican Cabinet.

The billionaire joined Trump and several of his allies at a Mar-a-Lago party to watch the results roll in, with Musk also bringing one of his 11 children to the event.

In a series of posts on his platform overnight, Musk repeatedly claimed victory for Trump, saying the American people had given him “a crystal-clear mandate for change.”

Other claims claimed that ‘the future will be so exciting’, with the tech mogul saying it was ‘game, set and match’, with the result still hanging in the balance.

On social media, the 53-year-old posted his messages next to a photo of one of his SpaceX rockets taking off amid plumes of fire.

There was a festive atmosphere at Mar-a-Lago’s election night party, as footage from the event showed a relaxed Trump chatting with Elon Musk and Dana White.

Musk would have to divest his vast assets to take on a Cabinet-level role — and might never be able to get Democrats to confirm his nomination anyway — but he is expected to join Trump in some executive role will join if his election bid is successful.

After jumping up and down at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania and donating millions to his campaign, Trump said the billionaire could oversee a commission to streamline government and eliminate bureaucratic waste.

The president has also floated a new Cabinet position that he said would “do everything in the power of the federal government to lower the cost of living,” but Musk would be ruled out of such a role.

At the rally at Madison Square Garden last weekend, Musk said a Trump would get the government “off the backs of Americans and out of their pockets.”

He also said he could save $2 trillion in cuts.

Another message, now pinned to the controversial Tesla CEO’s profile, read: “America is a nation of builders. Soon you will be free to build.”

Further replies claimed the shock outcome was ‘very likely’ as he told his fans: ‘You are the media now.’

Musk attended the Election Night watch party at Donald’s Mar-a-Lago estate this evening, along with his four-year-old son X Æ A-12, or “X” for short, whom he shares with singer Grimes.

The toddler was spotted partying alongside a host of celebrities and political figures as he rode on his dad’s shoulders.

Other attendees included Dana White, RFK Jr., former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville and Trump’s attorney Alina Habba.

Trump’s early dominance in Tuesday night’s presidential race was cemented shortly before midnight when he was projected as the winner of the first swing state, North Carolina.

When the victory was announced, the Harris campaign reportedly turned off the sound on the TVs at her viewing party as attendees admitted it “felt more like 2016 than 2020.”

And supporters who couldn’t deliver an invitation to Trump’s election night watch party with fireworks and flag waving outside his Florida estate in anticipation of a possible victory.

But as Republicans felt poised for victory, CNN anchor Abby Phillip reported before 11 p.m. that Kamala Harris’ party felt the race was slipping away.

“I think the key word is silence,” Phillips reported. “Not much is said because the Harris team seems to be looking for bright spots on the map as these results come in very, very slowly.”

As results continued to roll in late Tuesday night, Harris’ camp conceded that the “blue wall” of states including Pennsylvania and Michigan would be critical to any victory.

Harris’ campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon reportedly sent a memo to staff assuring them that they still had a path to victory, and that with the margins so small and so slow to come in “we’ll see each other tomorrow ‘.

The crowd at Harris’ watch party thinned considerably as supporters appeared to lose confidence in a historic victory.

Makeda Haughton, 32, told the Washington Post as she left the party that she was “still hoping for Pennsylvania” but admitted her confidence was waning.

‘This is of course disappointing. Not what I wanted to hear, but I won’t mention it until it’s fully mentioned,” she said, adding as she left the event that she would continue to monitor the news at home and “wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight. ‘
