Let that sink in: Musk recalls Twitter takeover moment with White House twist

With Republican Donald Trump on course to become the next US President, tech titan Elon Musk shared an edited image of him holding a sink against the White House’s Oval Office background. The image was a throwback of him strolling into Twitter headquarters with a sink after he acquired the social media platform.
The billionaire, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, shared the image on X with the caption, “Let that sink in!” Musk acquired Twitter (now X) in 2022 for $44 billion.
“Entering Twitter HQ — let that sink in!” Musk tweeted on October 26, 2022.
Musk’s post has also led to speculations about a possible role in Trump’s administration if the Republican wins the White House race. Trump has given conflicting accounts about how Musk might fit into his administration, saying that he would like the Tesla CEO to be his “secretary of cost-cutting”. Trump has also categorically said that Musk won’t be in his Cabinet.
Even though the election has not yet been called for the former president, US media projections showed Trump inches away from securing the 270 electoral votes required to win the White House race. Trump has already won the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.

Musk took to X to express his euphoria through a series of posts. “Game, set and match” was one of Musk’s first posts on X. The term is commonly used in a tennis match to indicate that a player has won.
He later tweeted a photo of himself speaking with Trump at an election night party. “America is a nation of builders,” and, “Soon, you will be free to build,” he wrote in another post.
A fourth post by Musk said, “The people of America gave Donald Trump a crystal clear mandate for change tonight.”
Musk, the world’s richest man, has donated over $118 million to Trump’s campaign since endorsing him in July.
