According to a New York Times report, Elon Musk, a prominent supporter of Republican candidate Donald Trump, plans to spend Election Night on November 5 alongside the former president. Musk will join a select group to watch the results unfold at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, as reported by NYT, citing three sources familiar with the arrangements.
Trump is set to host multiple events, including a dinner at Mar-a-Lago for a close circle of donors. While Trump will be part of a smaller, private gathering during the evening, he is also expected to address a larger crowd at the Palm Beach Convention Center later, where additional supporters and donors will be present.
In an X post, Musk shared a photo after casting his ballot, captioning it, “Just voted in Cameron County, Texas, home of Starbase!”

The Tesla CEO and Trump have frequent conversations, reportedly speaking several times each week. Musk’s control over the popular social media platform X has been advantageous for the Trump campaign, raising concerns among Democrats that he might use the platform to spread misinformation during the elections.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has her own Election Day plans. She will attend a family dinner and later join a watch party at her alma mater, Howard University, in Washington, D.C. Harris, who graduated from the historically Black institution with a degree in political science and economics in 1986, shared her plans in an interview with Pittsburgh’s KDKA radio. “I will be at my alma mater at Howard University,” she said. “Before that, I have a tradition of having dinner with my family, and so we will do that. I have a lot of my family staying with us.”
