“Musk to Spend Election Night With Trump;

Elon Musk has spent $119 million on a super PAC supporting Donald Trump and held events on his behalf. But his ownership of X is especially valuable.”

Elon Musk plans to spend election night with former President Donald J. Trump, giving Mr. Trump direct access to the person controlling one of key information platforms on what could be a chaotic evening….

Mr. Musk is joining the evening as a Trump superfan. He has spent at least $119 million on a super PAC supporting Mr. Trump and has held events on his behalf in Pennsylvania. He and Mr. Trump talk several times a week.

But one of the biggest benefits that Mr. Musk has brought to the Trump team is his ownership of X, the website formerly known as Twitter.

Democrats fear that Mr. Musk may use his personal feed on X to promote election misinformation. In the weeks leading up to Tuesday, Mr. Musk has posted raw data on early votes to falsely suggest that Mr. Trump has an insurmountable lead in places like Pennsylvania, and he has shared his concerns about the reliability of voting machines.
