Musk backs Trump in tight race as electoral results pour in
Data from electoral commissions in various states is arriving. Donald Trump is taking the lead. For his biggest supporter, billionaire Elon Musk, the election outcome seems already decided.
The race for the U.S. presidency is on. According to forecasts, Donald Trump is the favourite. As reported by the Associated Press, the Republican has secured 230 electoral votes, while Kamala Harris has 210.
For Elon Musk, the matter is already settled. The Tesla head and X owner, who spent millions on Trump's election campaign, has already commented on the preliminary exit poll results. He did so briefly but pointedly.
"Game, set and match,"—wrote the head of Tesla on platform X, a term borrowed from the world of tennis that signifies the conclusion of a match and victory.
Musk surprised everyone with his behaviour during Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, exuberantly leaping on stage.
The elections in the USA are considered some of the most significant in history. Trump, who served as president from 2017 to 2021, aims to return to the White House. To achieve victory, the Republican candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes.
