Elon Musk Hails Donald Trump For Liberating America; Posts Sink Meme


Elon Musk is toasting Donald Trump‘s triumph over Kamala Harris in characteristic style — by tweeting memes and emojis.

The owner of X (formerly Twitter) has arguably been Trump’s highest-profile and most influential backer in the final months of the campaign, using his enormous platform to stoke the fires of MAGA support.

Now, after Trump’s victory has all but been confirmed, Musk is reveling in the glory by declaring that America is a liberated nation and imagining himself in the White House.

“America is a nation of builders. Soon, you will be free to build,” he wrote in a message that is pinned at the top of his X profile, where he has nearly 204M followers.

In another message, he wrote: “We will free the giant that is America. Too long, it has been tied down, like Gulliver, with millions of little strings.”

Musk, one of the richest men in the world thanks to his control of Tesla, posted a meme of himself in the Oval Office with the caption: “Let that sink in.”

The image was a callback to his takeover of Twitter, when he entered the Silicon Valley company’s headquarters carrying the bathroom fixture.

Musk also shared a post that branded him “CTO of the USA.” It was accompanied by a picture of Trump and Musk locked in discussion at an election night event.

It is not clear if Musk will take up a formal role in Trump’s White House administration. The incoming president has said he’d like Musk to be his “secretary of cost-cutting” but also “not in the cabinet.”

His place as an advisor to Trump seems assured, however, and this could afford him significant influence over domestic and world affairs, as well as represent a boon for his business interests.

Musk said the people of America had given Trump a “crystal clear mandate for change tonight.” It also represents a defacto endorsement for Musk and the “free speech absolutist” social media platform he is re-engineering in his image.
