### Elon Musk to Join Donald Trump for Election Night in Florida
Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Tesla and X, plans to spend election night with former President Donald Trump in Florida, according to reports by CBS. Musk has been energetically supporting the Republican candidate, focusing his efforts on key swing states across the country.
Trump's campaign is organizing watch parties at his Mar-a-Lago residence and the Palm Beach Convention Center, where thousands of supporters are expected to gather. It remains unclear which events Trump and Musk will attend, but sources close to Musk have confirmed to CBS that the two will be together.
Recently, Trump announced that he would host "a very special group of people, many of whom you know" at Mar-a-Lago. Speaking to reporters while casting his ballot in Florida, he mentioned that four to five thousand people would also be at the convention center and that he might visit that location later in the evening.
Musk's backing for Trump this election cycle is significant, with his political action committee, America PAC, having already spent over $119 million. This show of support comes despite Musk's previous statement in 2022, where he suggested that it was "time for Trump to hang up his hat and sail into the sunset."
On the other side of the political spectrum, Vice President Kamala Harris will spend her election night at Howard University in Washington DC, her alma mater. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will monitor the election results from the White House, joined by long-time aides and senior staff.
The battleground state remains highly contested, with Trump and Harris running neck and neck, each candidate holding final events to sway undecided voters. Reports from swing state Pennsylvania underscore its pivotal role in determining the election's outcome.
In Washington DC, former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon plans to hold an election watch party at the Willard Hotel, a notable location for Trump loyalists during the 2020 election controversies.
As election results start to come in, the BBC and other news outlets continue to provide in-depth analysis, highlighting the critical issues and voter sentiments shaping this high-stakes race.
