He reshared posts from other Trump supporters and peppered his replies with American flag emojis.
Musk also shared a photo of himself wearing a leather jacket adorned with a voting sticker. "Just voted in Cameron County, Texas, home of Starbase!" he added, referring to a facility for his rocket company, SpaceX. After voting, Musk flew to Florida to watch the election results alongside Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the former president's private club.
"I'll be there with President Trump and JD and a bunch of other cool people," Musk said during a livestream on Spaces, an audio streaming feature of X. "They have a great sense of humor."

Musk had said he would host virtual audio "town halls" Monday night and Tuesday morning to take questions from voters.
But after the Monday stream on X was plagued with technical difficulties, Musk ended the call and did not host one Tuesday at the scheduled time. He launched the Spaces livestream in the early evening instead. The tech mogul posted more dark predictions about Trump's opponents on Tuesday.
He continued to suggest that Democrats would steal the election from Trump, a claim that he has shared repeatedly in recent months. He also repeated allegations that voting machines are unreliable. He also accused Google of biasing search results in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Earlier Tuesday, the search giant's response to queries about where to vote for Harris displayed a map of polling places, but a similar query about Trump resulted in news articles. Google said that the map was displayed because Harris' name was similar to Harris County in Texas and that it would correct the issue..
