ELON Musk brought his four-year-old son X to Donald Trump’s star-studded election party at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

The Tesla mogul, 53, was one of the many A-listers attending the watch party as key states rolled red in a major blow to Kamala Harris.

A smiling X, whose full name is  X Æ A-12, was seen arriving on his dad’s shoulders for a better view of Trump’s bash.

The boy seemed to be having lots of fun way past his bedtime, as he enjoyed some food and spent time with his dad and his famous pals.

Dressed in a mini blue suit, X was also seen snacking on some cookies.

Dana White, RFK Jr., previous presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, and Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba were among the other guests at the party.

It was not the first time Musk brought his kid to a Trump event.

Last week, the tech magnate brought X along to the GOP nominee’s rally at Madison Square Garden.

The child arrived at the five-hour event wearing a personalised red MAGA hat that read, “Make voting great again.”

Throughout the evening, X was seen chatting with Trump’s wife Melania and waving a Trump/Vance sign.

Musk welcomed his son X in May 2020 with his ex-girlfriend Grimes.

In 2021, they welcomed a daughter, Exa Dark Siderael, and in 2022, a son, Techno Mechanicus.

It comes as Donald Trump gave a triumphant victory speech after winning a third key swing state, vowing to “heal” America.

Trump has flipped Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral college votes – an invaluable step in winning a return to the White House.

It puts Trump on the cusp of victory and would only need Alaska to reach 270.

He has now taken a clear lead over Kamala Harris after earlier winning Georgia and North Carolina – as he also swept to victory in his stronghold ruby-red states.

The mood has changed in the two camps – with reports of “silence” at the Democrat’s campaign HQ, while there has been a party atmosphere at the Republican’s beloved resort Mar-a-Lago.

Trump took to the stage to address crowds of fans in Florida after leaving his star-studded watch party.

He paid tribute to his ally Elon Musk who has been a fixture during the campaign – dubbing him a “super genius”.

He said: “We have a new star – a star is born, Elon [Musk]!

“He is an amazing guy, we were sitting together tonight. He spent two weeks in Philadelphia and different parts of Pennsylvania campaigning.”

Speaking about watching a rocket launch, Trump said: “That’s why I love you, Elon.”

Elon Musk is set to become the most powerful man on the planet, it has been claimed.

The richest man in the world has emerged as a unique influence on the election campaign – and has become the biggest cheerleader for foe-turned-pal Trump.

Musk, who has been dubbed Trump’s “shadow vice president”, has gone all in to support and campaign for the former president.

Not only has he become a mega-donor for the Republican nominee, pumping millions of dollars into the GOP campaign, but also a social media strategist and a PR expert who has been working to promote Trump’s MAGA agenda.

But this unlikely bromance could be a stepping stone for Musk, 53, to become the most powerful person on the planet, experts said.

Dr Alan Mendoza, political expert and executive director of leading Brit think tank Henry Jackson Society, said he seeks to become powerful in both business and politics.

He told The Sun: “There’s clearly a power factor involved here.

“If you’ve got control of significant communications and means of communications and you’ve then got a friendly president who’s willing to give you a push on whatever you are doing, that gives you tremendous power in the business as well as the political world.

“That is the bet Elon Musk is making. It’s a bet he thinks he’ll win.”

What is the Electoral College?

And why swing states are important.

The Electoral College is the body of 538 electors divided among the states who select the next president of the United States.
To become president, a candidate must win a majority of 270 electoral votes.
Every state is assigned one elector for each of its House representatives and two additional electors for the state’s senators.
In 48 states, a presidential candidate will be awarded all the electors in a state if they win the state’s popular vote.
Two states, Nebraska and Maine, are outliers, awarding two electoral votes to the state’s popular vote winner, and awarding one electoral vote to the winner of each of the state’s congressional districts.
Sometimes, electors vote against the state’s popular vote winner, becoming known as “faithless electors.”
Many states will be virtual shoo-ins for the Democratic candidate (such as New York and California) or the Republican candidate (such as Texas and Missouri), while a minority are genuinely up for grabs by either candidate.
These states, known as purple or swing states, are the main targets for presidential candidates.
In 2024, those states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
