Although the world's richest man is best known to join in one of the presidential calls elected, some sources told CNN it wasn't the only one Musk has followed since Trump's victory.

Elon Musk, who has been seen in and out of Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club several times since Tuesday, has also made another phone call made by the elected president and joined a conversation where Trump is considering staff decisions, demonstrating how influential Musk will be in the future.

Sources describe Trump captivated by Musk.

"We have to protect our geniuses, we don't have much of them," Trump said in his winning speech on Wednesday morning.

Musk spent more than 118 million US dollars on Trump's campaign in 2024. Musk proposed to lead broad efforts to cut expenses within the federal government.

He also benefited from a billion-dollar federal contract, including from NASA, the military, and other US government agencies.
