He wrote, "Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing Donald Trump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.”

Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk endorsed Trump in July and donated approximately $250 million to help the former president win back the White House.
Musk has remained close with Trump and was tapped along with billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy to head the newly created Department of Government Efficiency for the incoming Trump administration.
Trump told CNBC about the CEOs, "I want to get ideas from them. Look, we want them to do well. We want everybody, and we want great jobs, and fantastic salaries. We want people to love, and when they wake up in the morning, like get up and ‘I love to go to work, I want to go to work.’ We want people working, and we want them working for a lot of money."
