Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk exuded confidence of Donald Trump’s return to the White House, as the early projections show the former president ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a recent post on the microblogging platform X, Elon Musk shared his photograph along with former US President Donald Trump.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk were photographed at the former president’s election watch party in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
He expressed confidence in Donald Trump emerging victorious in the 2024 US Presidential elections.
He also shared an edited photograph of him in the Oval Office of the White House with him carrying a sink into the room along with the tongue-in-cheek caption, “Let that sink in”.
Musk had used these words earlier when he bought the microblogging platform Twitter at a staggering cost of USD 44 billion. As the deal had seemed nearly impossible before fruition, Musk entered Twitter’s San Francisco office with a kitchen sink to let the deal ‘sink in’ for people.
