Elon Musk backs Rick Scott for Senate majority leader as Republicans secure control.

Elon Musk has endorsed Republican Senator Rick Scott for U.S. Senate majority leader, as Republicans gain control with at least 52 seats. Current leader Mitch McConnell is stepping down. The endorsement comes as President-elect Donald Trump pushes for quick Senate confirmations during recesses, a stance supported by Scott, who faces competition from Senators John Cornyn and John Thune. The Senate leadership vote is set for this week. The House race remains undecided, with Republicans needing five more seats for a majority.
