Throughout the campaign, Musk rallied support on social media, and as results rolled in, he shared celebratory posts, including an Oval Office meme and a SpaceX rocket image, hinting at a transformative new era he envisions for America.
"Novus Ordo Seclorum," declared Elon Musk, as the world took note of the pivotal role he played in Donald Trump's 2024 presidential victory.

This victory is not just Trump's; it's also a testament to Musk's unmistakable sway on the modern political landscape.
"Novus Ordo Seclorum"¡ªLatin for "a new order of the ages"¡ªtook on fresh meaning when Elon Musk echoed the phrase following Donald Trump's 2024 presidential win, along with an image of him with Donald Trump.

Appearing on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States and on the back of every U.S. dollar bill, the phrase hints at historical transformation.
And Musk, having put in considerable effort to rally support for Trump, certainly wasn't about to stop at a simple congratulatory post.
Long before the official results were confirmed, Musk was already celebrating.
As Trump pulled ahead, Musk took to social media, sharing a screen capture from Polymarket showing Trump leading with 69.9%. His caption? "The prophecy has been fulfilled!"

Musk's humour added another layer to the event. Recalling his famous "sink" meme¡ªwalking into Twitter's headquarters (now X) carrying a literal sink once he bought the company¡ªhe recreated the moment, editing the background to place himself in the White House's Oval Office, sink in hand.

The message was clear: this was a victory he was claiming in his own unique style.
Just before the final votes were announced, Musk shared an image of a SpaceX rocket soaring skyward, flames trailing behind. "The future is gonna be fantastic," he wrote, hinting at a new era he believes is just beginning.
