Donald Trump is the projected winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential election according to multiple news sources. For the most up-to-date information about the U.S. Election, please visit news sources like The Associated Press and Reuters, or check with your state or local election authority.
Donald Trump who is on course to become the 47th United States President also revealed in his victory speech in Florida that Elon Musk is a star and a genius.
“He’s a character. He’s a special guy, he’s a super genius. We have to protect our geniuses. We don’t have that many of them. We have to protect our super geniuses. We have a new star. A star is born,” he said.
Mint reports that Trump also vowed to fight for Americans and thanked them people for voting for him.

“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president, and every citizen. I will fight for you, for your family and your future. Every single day.”
India Today also reveals that Trump has previously given conflicting accounts of how the South African-born businessman might fit into his administration and also admitted that Elon Musk won’t be in his cabinet.
In truth, the liquor had been flowing for several hours before the teetotal Donald Trump appeared after 02:00 EST (07:00 GMT). But the joy of his supporters, dressed in their MAGA uniforms, symbolised something far bigger than the alcohol-fuelled highs of a good night out.
Unusually for Donald Trump, the speech did promise unity, and that he would govern for all – a tone that has largely been absent from the campaign trail.
Much will depend on whether Republicans can retain control of the House on top of successfully flipping control in their favour of the Senate.
If they do that, then their control of both chambers of Congress plus the White House – a rare thing in US politics – will open up at least two years of incredible political freedom.
Trump failed to really capitalise on the so-called trifecta of the presidency, House and Senate in his first term – but his advisers will not allow him to make such a mistake again.
They will also want him to be a lot more organised than last time around when it comes to picking a cabinet and key administration staff.
Those on stage in the early hours of Wednesday may serve as a hint of what’s to come.
Musk, for example, has said he believes $2tn (£1.55tn) can be cut from the federal budget through efficiencies. It’s been suggested that the billionaire could head some kind of department of “government efficiency” to do it.
Not on stage, but in the VIP pen just in front of it, Robert F Kennedy Jr has also been touted by Trump as someone who could have a big role in healthcare in his administration.
That’s a prospect that has been greeted with horror by many – given RFK Jr’s views as a vaccine sceptic and someone who has campaigned against fluoride in water – a staple of public healthcare for decades.
And not forgetting the family. Donald Trump’s second son, Eric, and his wife Lara – both right up there tonight – have increasingly taken centre stage as key lieutenants. What could be in store for them?
