Billionaire business owner Mark Cuban has congratulated Donald Trump as early results in the US presidential election show the former president with a substantial lead.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Cuban said: "Congrats Donald Trump. You won fair and square. Congrats to Elon Musk as well."

Cuban has been one of Kamala Harris' most visible backers, while billionaire Elon Musk has been a key ally and major supporter of Trump.

At the time of writing, the Associated Press has called 248 electoral college votes for Trump, still short of the 270 needed to win.
