Just before Donald Trump declared a “magnificent” election victory, Elon Musk stirred excitement by confidently declaring that “the future is gonna be fantastic.”
In a playful post, the tech billionaire shared a photoshopped image of himself in the Oval Office with the caption, “let that sink in,” hinting at a potential role in the Trump administration.
Musk, 53, celebrated the election results at a Mar-a-Lago watch party alongside Trump and other allies, joined by one of his 12 children, creating a memorable evening for the gathered supporters.
Trump Praises Musk as a Key American Figure
As Trump announced his win, he took a moment to publicly praise Musk, calling him “one of the most important people in the country” and a “supergenius” who deserves protection.
Trump’s admiration culminated with him declaring, “A star is born” to the cheering crowd.
Musk, in return, shared a photo of Trump with the Latin caption, “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” underscoring his belief in Trump’s support from the American people.
Musk’s Optimism Fuels Supporters as Results Roll In
Throughout the evening, Musk posted encouraging updates on his platform, repeatedly claiming a decisive victory for Trump.
As the election outcome remained uncertain, Musk posted, “the future is gonna be so fire,” and confidently remarked that it was “game, set and match.”
Alongside his messages, he shared an image of a SpaceX rocket launching against a backdrop of flames, symbolizing his optimism for Trump’s anticipated win.
Speculation Around Musk’s Role in Trump’s Administration
Despite the complexities of a cabinet position, which would require Musk to divest from many of his holdings, rumors swirled about Musk joining Trump’s administration in a possible advisory role.
Trump had previously hinted that Musk could lead a commission focused on reducing bureaucratic waste or streamlining government.
Though unlikely to hold a formal cabinet position, Musk could still influence policy with his outspoken advocacy for reducing governmental interference and cutting federal spending.
Musk Rallies Support with Pro-Building, Anti-Bureaucracy Vision
At a recent rally, Musk emphasized his desire for an American government that supports builders and innovators, suggesting the new administration would enable a wave of economic freedom.
“America is a nation of builders,” he tweeted, “Soon, you will be free to build.”
His comments were aimed at rallying voters who feel overregulated and overtaxed, promising to ease the government’s role in their lives.
Election Night with Family, Friends, and Political Allies
Musk attended the election night gathering with his four-year-old son X Æ A-12, who enjoyed the evening alongside a lively crowd of celebrities and political figures, including Dana White, RFK Jr., and Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville.
As X rode on his father’s shoulders, the scene captured a lighthearted moment in an otherwise tense night of results watching.

Harris Campaign Remains Hopeful, Though Confidence Wanes
With results still coming in, Harris’ team acknowledged the importance of swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon encouraged staff to stay positive, even as the crowd at Harris’ watch party began to thin.
