Elon Musk has gloated that ‘the future is gonna be fantastic’ as his pal Donald Trump edges closer to victory in the US election.

The X chief posted a picture of himself photoshopped into the Oval Office, as he is expected to be one of several billionaires to join the Republican cabinet.

The billionaire joined Trump and a number of his allies at a Mar-a-Lago party to watch the results pour in, with Musk also bringing one of his eleven children to the event. 

In a series of posts on his platform throughout the night, Musk repeatedly claimed victory for Trump, saying the American people had given him ‘a crystal clear mandate for change’.

Other assertions claimed that ‘the future is gonna be so fire’, with the tech mogul saying that it was ‘game, set and match’ while the result still lay finely in the balance. 

Boasting on social media, the 53-year-old said posted his messages alongside a photo of one of his SpaceX rockets taking off amid plumes of fire.

Musk would have to divest from his massive holdings to take on a Cabinet-level role – and likely could never get Democrats to confirm his nomination anyway – but is expected to join Trump in some governing capacity if his election bid is successful.

After he jumped up and down at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania and donated millions to his campaign, Trump has said the billionaire could oversee a commission on streamlining government and eliminating bureaucratic waste.

The president has also floated a new cabinet position he said would involve ‘doing everything in the federal government’s power to reduce the cost of living,’ but Musk would be out of the running for such a role.

At the Madison Square Garden rally last weekend, Musk said a Trump would get the government ‘off’ of the back of Americans and ‘out of their pocketbooks’.

He also said he could save the U.S. $2 trillion in spending cuts.
