NEW YORK, November 7. /TASS/. Many Americans voted for Republican Donald Trump, leading him to victory in the US presidential election because they seek reforms in power and reject the course of the ruling elites. This was stated by American entrepreneur and one of the richest people in the world, Elon Musk.

"The American people have made it absolutely clear that they utterly reject the current ruling class," Musk wrote on his social media page X. "Radical reform of government is what they want," the entrepreneur added. He commented on a statement by former Trump advisor Stephen Miller, who said that the Republican's success was "the greatest victory not only in American political history but also in the modern history of civilization."

Voting in the US elections concluded on the morning of November 6 (Moscow time). The official results have not yet been announced, but according to American media, Trump has already secured around 300 electoral votes, surpassing the required 270. He has already declared himself the 47th president of the United States. House Speaker Mike Johnson referred to Trump as the elected head of state.
