The Republican candidate is back in the White House. The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, will therefore also become the 47th President of the country once he takes office in January 2025. Throughout this campaign, he was able to count on strong support, the billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of the social network
During the campaign, Donald Trump announced that he would charge Elon Musk of a government audit with a view to profound reforms. This Wednesday morning, the tech giant published a photomontage of him entering the Oval Office with a sink in his arms. This is a nod to another photo of him when he bought Twitter. He came with this sink to say that he was going to tear everything down and rebuild everything in the company, which he pretty much did in fact.
The photo suggests he intends to play a role in the new administration. What is certain is that he spared no effort. He put his fortune at the service of Trump. He is the richest and most influential man in America. It is said that he has spent more than $100 million for this campaign, notably by organizing a lottery with a check for one million up for grabs.
Elon Musk has settled in Pennsylvania, a key state. He also has put its social network X (formerly Twitter) at the exclusive service of Donald Trump. In the middle of the night, he posted: “Game, set and match.” For him, it was done.
As Donald Trump gave his impromptu victory speech to his supporters, he spent nearly five minutes, which is a very long time, talking about Elon Musk. “He’s a genius, he’s a genius, there are little like that in every generation“, he insisted in particular.
Actually, he is not wrong. This is another bet from Musk that he won. It’s also a welcome return, becauseElon Musk also expects from Trump that he helped, in particular to continue to have huge contracts with NASA to SpaceXespecially also to have less strict regulations on autonomous vehicles. This was very well understood by the financial markets. In the wake of Donald Trump’s victory, Tesla shares rose 15% before the markets opened.
