Elon Musk Endorses Rick Scott in Senate Leadership Race

Elon Musk endorsed Rick Scott for U.S. Senate Majority Leader as Republicans are set to hold at least 52 seats in the Senate. Rick Scott, backed by several hard-right senators, aims to bring change while the House control remains undecided, crucial for Trump's agenda.

Business magnate Elon Musk threw his support behind Republican Senator Rick Scott for U.S. Senate Majority Leader, escalating the intensity in the race for this crucial position following the Republicans' win in the chamber. The GOP is projected to hold at least 52 seats after flipping key states.

Musk, the world's richest individual and a prominent Trump backer, advocated for Scott via social media. Scott, who voices the need for real change, is buoyed by support from conservative senators, although it's uncertain if he can gather moderate backing.

With Republicans leading in both Senate and House chambers, Trump's agenda, including tax cuts and energy deregulation, might find smoother passage. The decision regarding House control is pending as vote counting continues in Western states.
