Elon Musk, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, declared the U.S. presidential election over, stating that Trump had emerged victorious. This announcement, shared with Musk’s 203 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), quickly garnered widespread attention. In his post, Musk wrote “Game, set, and match,” accompanied by political memes, highlighting his firm backing of Trump.
Throughout the campaign, Musk has remained steadfast in his support for Trump, frequently using his social media influence to amplify Republican viewpoints. He also raised concerns about the potential consequences of a Kamala Harris presidency, warning in a previous post that “this would be the last U.S. election” if Harris were to win, echoing claims made by podcaster Joe Rogan.

At Trump’s Election Night event, Musk was seen speaking with the former president and UFC President Dana White, further signaling his alignment with Trump’s agenda. In a subsequent appearance on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ Musk expressed concerns that Democrats would legalize enough undocumented immigrants to sway future elections, a claim that experts have criticized as exaggerated.
Musk also suggested that a Harris-led administration could target his social media platform, X, stating that a “Kamala Harris puppet regime” might use the Department of Justice to undermine it. He pointed to ongoing advertiser boycotts as part of what he called a broader effort by “left-wing NGOs” to weaken X’s influence.
Musk’s outspoken endorsement of Trump has sparked both support and backlash, amplifying the already intense political discourse surrounding the 2024 election. His remarks have contributed to an ongoing debate about the role of tech leaders in shaping political narratives and influencing public opinion.
