'Let That Sink In' - Elon Musk Teases Possible Role In White House Following Donald Trump's Victory

After Republican candidate, Donald Trump's electoral victory on Wednesday morning, tech mogul Elon Musk shared an edited image of Trump holding a sink in front of the White House Oval Office backdrop.

The image was a throwback of him strolling into Twitter headquarters with a sink after he acquired the social media platform.

The billionaire, a vocal and heavy financial supporter of Donald Trump, shared the image on X with the caption, "Let that sink in!"

Musk acquired Twitter (now X) in 2022 for $44 billion

"Entering Twitter HQ -- let that sink in!" Musk tweeted on October 26, 2022.

Musk's post has also led to speculations about a possible role in Trump's administration if the Republican wins the White House race. Trump previously said that he would like the Tesla CEO to be his "secretary of cost-cutting".

After US media projections showed Trump inches away from securing the 270 electoral votes required to win the White House race, Musk took to X to express his euphoria through a series of posts. "Game, set and match" was one of Musk's first posts on X. The term is commonly used in a tennis match to indicate that a player has won.

He later tweeted a photo of himself speaking with Trump at an election night party. "America is a nation of builders," and, "Soon, you will be free to build," he wrote in another post.

A fourth post by Musk said, "The people of America gave Donald Trump a crystal clear mandate for change tonight."

Musk, the world's richest man, has donated over $118 million to Trump's campaign since endorsing him in July.
