Elon Musk, the X owner, who has actively come out in support of Republican candidate Donald Trump in the 2024 US Presidential Elections, shared a meme as Trump looked set to beat Democratic challenger Kamala Harris.
Musk superimposed an image of himself in the Oval Office of the White House where he can be seen carrying a basin. He captioned it "Let that sink in."
This is not the first time Musk has made this joke. He shared a video of himself entering what was then the Twitter headquarters after he'd acquired the company with a similar caption.
As for the US elections, Musk has been active on the social media platform he owns, and which experts have said is the epicenter of misinformation.
He posted a photo of himself with Trump and Dana White, UFC CEO, and said the future of America 'is gonna be so' lit, using a fire emoticon to get the message across. Musk also claimed the people of US gave Trump a clear mandate while again expressing enthusiasm about the future of America, saying that it is a nation of builders and soon people will be free to build.
