X owner Elon Musk led the meme brigade on social media in reacting to the US election results and Donald Trump’s historic victory on Wednesday with a series of posts ranging from acerbic to straight-up mockery.

As initial results started coming in, Musk was among the first who went on a posting spree. He reused his picture from 2022 when he had walked into X’s headquarters with a sink. This time too, he gave the same caption “Let that sink in” but the background setting was inside the White House.

An hour later, he uploaded an image of SpaceX rocket starship with a caption “The future is gonna be fantastic.”

Among the other meme doing the rounds was a morphed video of Trump dancing to Ranveer Singh’s Malhari from Bajirao Mastani.

X user Peter Hague, who identifies himself as a solutionist with an astrophysics PhD on his page, posted a picture of Instagram-famous squirrel Peanut, who was euthanised by US officials, with a heading “Tell Kamala. I want her to know it was me.”

The Joe Biden administration had come under fire from Trump supporters over the issue.
