Elon Musk Election Day: What Elon Musk told his 203 million X followers on election day

On Election Day, Elon Musk used his X account to encourage his 203 million followers to vote for Donald Trump. He also used it to stoke fears about election interference. Musk, one of Trump’s most vocal and wealthy supporters, has thrown the weight of his social media company and his wallet behind the former president. He’s given almost $120 million to the Trump campaign and posted incessantly about Trump in recent weeks.

On Tuesday, he posted, “Men are voting in record numbers,” and predicted a “massive sea change” in Trump’s favor as a result. He reshared posts from other Trump supporters and peppered his replies with American flag emojis.

Musk also shared a photo of himself wearing a leather jacket adorned with a voting sticker. “Just voted in Cameron County, Texas, home of Starbase!” he added, referring to a facility for his rocket company, SpaceX.

After voting, Musk flew to Florida to watch the election results alongside Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the former president’s private club. “I’ll be there with President Trump and JD and a bunch of other cool people,” Musk said during a livestream on Spaces, an audio streaming feature of X. “They have a great sense of humor.”

Musk told listeners he might announce the results on X with Trump on Tuesday night, “if the votes are clear enough that there is victory.”

He also said his super PAC, America PAC, had been focused on get-out-the-vote efforts in Pennsylvania and provided transportation for voters trying to get to the polls, “to at least match if not exceed the Democratic ground game.” Musk had said he would host virtual audio “town halls” Monday night and Tuesday morning to take questions from voters. But after the Monday stream on X was plagued with technical difficulties, Musk ended the call and did not host one Tuesday at the scheduled time. He launched the Spaces livestream in the early evening instead.

The tech mogul posted more dark predictions about Trump’s opponents on Tuesday. He continued to suggest that Democrats would steal the election from Trump, a claim that he has shared repeatedly in recent months. He also repeated allegations that voting machines are unreliable.

He also accused Google of biasing search results in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris. Earlier Tuesday, the search giant’s response to queries about where to vote for Harris displayed a map of polling places, but a similar query about Trump resulted in news articles.

Google said that the map was displayed because Harris’ name was similar to Harris County in Texas and that it would correct the issue.
