“Let That Sink In” – Elon Musk Hints at Possible Role in White House After Trump’s Victory

Following Donald Trump’s electoral win on Wednesday morning, tech mogul Elon Musk shared an edited image of him holding a sink against the backdrop of the White House Oval Office.

The image was a throwback to when Musk walked into Twitter headquarters holding a sink after acquiring the social media platform.

A vocal and heavy financial supporter of Trump, Musk posted the image on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Let that sink in!” Musk had 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 sparked speculation about a potential role for him in Trump’s administration if the Republican candidate wins the White House. Trump had previously expressed interest in appointing the Tesla CEO as his “secretary of cost-cutting.”

After U.S. media projections showed Trump was close to securing the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidential race, Musk took to X to express his excitement with a series of posts. One of his first posts was “Game, set and match,” a term often used in tennis to signal 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 has donated over $118 million to Trump’s campaign since endorsing him in July.
