Tech elites scored local and national wins after backing Donald Trump and conservative California ballot measures

• US election after Trump win – live updates

While Elon Musk spent election night alongside Donald Trump celebrating their decisive victory at Mar-a-Lago, Silicon Valley figures who were invested, quite literally, in the outcome of Tuesday night’s election shared in the Tesla CEO’s joy. Some also claimed political wins for their political causes in San Francisco.

Venture capitalists like Marc Andreessen, Joe Lonsdale, and executives at Peter Thiel’s venture fund celebrated Trump’s win, which they predicted would usher in a new anti-woke, light-on-regulation regime that would be a boon for the tech industry.
