    Elon Musk will reportedly watch votes roll in with Donald Trump tonight.

    Musk will be among the “small group” of people waiting for election results at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, according to The New York Times. Since endorsing Trump in July, Musk has reportedly contributed $119 million to a pro-Trump super PAC.
