Former US President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk spent election night on Tuesday at Mar-a-Lago for some of the evening festivities in Palm Beach, Florida.
In a widely circulated photo on social media, Musk is seen sitting with the Republican nominee as the screen behind them displays exit polls showing Trump's lead.
According to a report by The New York Times, Musk was among the few people who were present with Trump as he watched his potential return to the Oval Office after a four-year gap.
Trump is hosting several parties with varying levels of exclusivity at Mar-a-Lago. He is also scheduled to address his donors at the Palm Beach Convention Center as the picture of the election outcome becomes clearer, The New York Post reported.
'Game, set, match'
As early projections showed the former president ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris, Musk exuded confidence in Trump’s return.
In a post on the social media platform X, Musk tweeted, “Game, set, match.”
The Tesla CEO also reposted a prediction from Polymarket, a New York-based prediction market, which projected Trump winning the presidential election with a 90.1% chance, while Harris had just a 9.2% chance.
Musk has spent at least $119 million on a super PAC supporting Trump and has held events on his behalf in Pennsylvania. He also hosted an X-Space with the former president and appeared at some of his campaign rallies.
According to the latest projections, Trump is leading with 211 electoral votes, while Kamala Harris has 145.
