Elon Musk

For weeks, Elon Musk did his best to campaign for Donald Trump. He encourages voters to vote for Trump with monetary gifts, and on his Platform Now, the tech mogul got what he wanted. He was overjoyed and looking forward to what he considered a “wonderful” future.

Volodymyr Selensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Donald Trump that morning before officially calling the election. “I congratulate Donald Trump on his impressive election victory!”the Ukrainian wrote on the X platform.

He welcomed Trump's support for a “peace through strength” approach. He also hopes to soon be able to personally congratulate Trump on his election and discuss continued support for Ukraine with him. Kyiv relies on help from both sides of the United States.

Robert F.Kennedy

Robert F. Kennedy was one of the first to congratulate him. No surprise: The former Democrat who once ran for office sided with Trump on the campaign trail. That could go against his promise during the Trump administration to keep an office in his Trojan horse, the health department.

Mark Cuban

Billionaire Mark Cuban strongly expresses support for electing Kamala Harris. The entrepreneur was one of the opponents' supporters after the first media outlets announced the Republican victory. Trump won honestly, not fraudulently.

Billionaire and investor Mark Cuban speaks with local business leaders during a town hall meeting on Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024, in Gategate to advocate for Vice President Kamala Harris Harris' economic plan.

Alice Weddle

The top politician of the Alternative for Germany, Alice Weidel, belongs to a party that is partly right-wing extremist. She shares many political stances with Donald Trump.
