But keep following here on our new live page, as we bring you the latest from the campaigns with just four days to go.
By Jake Horton
Since endorsing Donald Trump for president in July, Elon Musk - the owner of X - has posted about the US election hundreds of times, attracting more than four billion views.
BBC Verify, working with data firm Node XL, analysed all of his posts since then - over 8,000 - and searched for key words to track the election issues he has been posting about most to his 200 million followers.
Immigration and voting emerge as key themes, with Musk engaging with misinformation online about "illegal aliens" voting in this election.
He has also claimed repeatedly that Democrats have been "importing" immigrants who will vote for them in future elections.
But voting and immigration experts we have spoken to have challenged this, pointing out that it is illegal for them to vote in federal elections and that even if some might qualify for citizenship eventually, the process would take many years.

These ladies skipped work yesterday to see Kamala Harris speak in Phoenix, Arizona.
They told me abortion and border issues are their primary concerns.
Symmone Worthy, a small-business owner here in Arizona, said it was time for a female president.
“America is sick right now,” she said. “We need to be mothered.”
The group noted how important border policies were to them. I asked why Trump’s pitch to clamp down on the border - the issue he mentions the most on the campaign trail - hasn’t appealed to them.
“We’ve seen how Trump handled it,” Kathleen Buckley said, citing issues like separating migrant children from their parents and putting migrants in cages. “It wasn’t humane. It’s not who we are.”
She noted the need for law and order on the border, and for everyone to be respectful of the processes to become a legal citizen. Buckley added she believes Harris is the person for the job.
“She’s a prosecutor. She knows the law and will ensure it’s upheld.”

Both presidential candidates have been criss-crossing the US trying to gather as much support as possible in the final days of campaigning.
In Pennsylvania, one of the seven swing states which look key to deciding the winner, every vote counts - but mechanic Dave Spithaler his mind is already made up.
"What I see in him, he stands with me, a blue-collar, working American that has to go to work every day, believes in border security and believes in a strong economy," Spithaler says.
He adds that he believes Trump is "his own man and can't be bought" and that he "stands for regular Americans".
With just four days to the election there is no let up in the battle to secure votes in the crucial swing states.
Harris and Trump are both holding rallies in Milwaukee, Wisconsin later - with Harris also campaigning in several other places in the midwestern state
Trump will first be in Michigan to give some remarks, the state where his running mate JD Vance and his Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz will also be campaigning today.
Walz is going to be in three different cities in Michigan to drum up support, while Vance will head to North Carolina for a rally later on.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is heading to Philadelphia to speak about the Democratic Party's longstanding support for labour unions - a voting bloc that Trump has also set his sights on.

Videos and pictures on social media show a vehicle decorated with Trump campaign signs being driven by people dressed as Secret Service agents, with a person dressed as the vice-president tethered and walking behind.
The scene has been widely condemned as racist, with comparisons to images from the slavery and segregation eras of US history. The local mayor Diane Bailey says she is "appalled, angered, upset" by the incident.
In a statement on Facebook, , externalthe Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department says: "We sincerely apologize for allowing the offensive participants to take part in the Mount Pleasant Annual Halloween Parade last evening. We do not share in the values represented by those participants."
The statement adds the department will be reviewing its processes to prevent a situation like this from happening again.

As she sweeps up broken glass outside her shop, Inna knows Ukraine's future is in the hands of Americans voting more than 5,000 miles away.
“We hope that the woman, Kamala Harris, will win and support us,” she says.
A Russian bomb had shattered her shop windows - a common occurrence in the city of Zaporizhzhia. There’s a 10-metre (32ft) wide crater in the middle of the road.
“Of course we are worried about the outcome [of the election],” Inna adds. “We want to defeat the enemy!”
Whoever becomes the next US president will have a profound impact on Ukraine’s borders and everyone who lives within them.
While Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris has suggested military aid would continue if she emerged the victor, her powers could be constrained by a Republican-run Congress.
And the pipeline of military support, which so far totals more than $50 billion (£38.7 billion), is looking less likely to be sustained under a second term for Donald Trump.
Trump has said he would “work out something” to settle the war and suggested Ukraine may have to give up some land.
There is almost endless coverage of the US election on Ukrainian news programmes, with war projections based on the potential winner.
Kamala Harris is undoubtedly seen as Ukraine’s preferred candidate, and journalists are trying to combat Russian disinformation against her.

With just days left before the election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been campaigning in the swing states of Nevada and Arizona.
Trump told broadcaster Tucker Carlson at an event in Arizona that RFK Jr, who has pushed unfounded conspiracy theories about vaccines, would work on women's health in a future administration.
Harris told supporters in Las Vegas, Nevada that the US was exhausted with the divisions that Donald Trump had created. She promised a tax cut for the middle class if elected saying bringing down the cost of living was a top priority.
The seven swing states, the other five being Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are thought to hold the keys to the White House - as they are the only ones whose electoral college votes look to be in the balance on polling day.
Trump is speaking in Michigan and Wisconsin later today, while Harris is holding a rally in Wisconsin.

I’m in Macomb County in the key swing state of Michigan where Donald Trump is coming later today for a rally.
It has been an area that voted Democrat in the past, with a lot of unionised "blue collar" workers, but shifted to Donald Trump in 2016.
Interestingly, some wealthier areas in the state have shifted Democrat recently despite historically being Republican.
In a coffee shop here, union members – who are voting Democrat still – say Trump has appealed to their colleagues by pushing socially conservative messages around issues like immigration and transgender rights.
William Greene, a member of the Painters Union, told me: “People aren’t voting for what actually matters to their day to day lives.”
“They’re more mad than anything, mad that the system isn’t working for them. So they want change. But he [Trump] doesn’t care about us.”
“I’m voting for the right to organise, to strengthen unions.”
He praised the Democrats for investing federal funds in infrastructure in the state, but said the Democrats could have done a better job at ‘taking credit’ for that.
Greene met Kamala Harris recently when she visited their union and said: “I have a two-year-old daughter. I want her to have the same rights and advantages that my wife, my mum, my grandma got in their lifetime. I don’t want stuff to be taken away from her, or her to worry about healthcare.”

Addressing voters in Arizona, Kamala Harris told crowds that she would guarantee access to abortion nationwide if she was elected president.
The procedure has been banned and heavily restricted in a number of US states, and at her rallies she has laid the blame with Donald Trump, saying it was his actions which led to the overturning of women’s constitutional right to abortion.
Harris was particularly hoping to take her message to Latino voters in Arizona where they make up around a quarter of the electorate.
Donald Trump was also campaigning in a state he narrowly lost in 2020.
He appeared on stage with the controversial former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, where he doubled down on unfounded claims of election fraud in 2020 and emphasized the need for wall along the southern border with Mexico.
Polling indicates there’s an increasingly defined gender divide in the election, with Kamala Harris having a lead with women voters and Donald trump ahead with men.
Jennifer Lopez condemns Puerto Rico 'island of garbage' remarks
As we've been reporting, singer and actor Jennifer Lopez appeared on stage at a Kamala Harris rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, last night.
The star, who is of Puerto Rican descent, condemned Trump after one of his supporters described the US territory as a "floating island of garbage".
Harris has won the backing of several high-profile Latinos in recent days but some polling suggests Trump may have made inroads with the demographic.
Both campaigns know what Latino voters do on polling day could be crucial in swing states like Nevada.
If you're just joining us, both Harris and Trump have recently wrapped up their last campaign speeches of the day. Here's a brief summary of what they said:
Donald Trump has just finished speaking in Arizona, where Tucker Carlson has been interviewing him on stage for around 90 minutes.
He's asked whether two of his most prominent backers - Elon Musk and RFK Jr - are going to be offered jobs in a Trump administration if he wins the election.
Trump repeats that he wants Musk to take on an unspecified role tasked with finding efficiency savings in government budgets.
However, he goes on to effectively rule out Musk joining his cabinet, saying: "[Musk] doesn't want to become a secretary of something. I mean, I'd love to have him to be honest with you... but he's doing a couple of other things."
Trump turns to RFK Jr, who has promoted conspiracy theories about vaccines. Earlier, we reported on a Trump aide appearing to rule out RFK Jr being made secretary of health.
The former president again leaves the door open to RFK Jr taking on a health role, saying: "He really wants to, with the pesticides, and all the different things... I said he can do it, he can do anything he wants.
"He wants to look at the vaccines, everything. I think it's great, I think it's great."
Image source, Getty ImagesHarris ends her speech in Las Vegas by appealing to young and first-time voters, repeating a version of some lines we've heard a lot of in recent days.
She says: "You guys are rightly impatient for change.
"You are determined to live free from gun violence... You intend to change the world you inherit... for you, none of these issues are theoretical."
And with that, she leaves the stage.
Trump has just attacked former Vice-President Dick Cheney and his daughter, the former Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney, who he calls a "stupid person".
Both are Trump critics and have endorsed Kamala Harris.
Speaking on stage in Arizona, he says: "I don’t blame him for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb. She's a radical war hawk.
"Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her... Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.
"You know they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, we’ll, let's send, let's send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy’. But she's a stupid person."
Harris says every woman should have a "fundamental freedom to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do".
She also references Trump's remarks on Wednesday, when he said he would protect women "whether they like it or not".
Harris goes on: "This is the same [person] who believes that women should be punished for their choices.
"The man simply does not respect freedom of women or the intelligence of women to make decisions about their own lives."
She says Trump would "ban abortion, restrict access to birth control... [and] put IVF treatments at risk".
Image source, Getty ImagesBack to Trump in Arizona for a moment, where he is seeking to appeal to evangelical voters.
He says: "I've always been a believer. There's a certain pastor from Texas, and he said, 'Trump may not be the best Christian of all but he's the only one who is going to take us to the promised land because he's the best leader'."
Trump then goes on to say he has "evangelical support because I've done a great job for them".
Exit polls from 2020 suggested around four-fifths of white evangelicals backed Trump and he is hoping to shore up his support among the group at this election.
Image source, Getty ImagesHarris opens by saying the US is "exhausted" with the "division" she says Donald Trump has created.
The vice-president tells the crowds she is "not afraid of tough fights" and "we will win".
Harris quickly moves on to her key policy proposals on the economy, which she says will be her focus every single day if she wins.
She says she will "fight for working people" by hiking the minimum wage and cutting taxes on tips for workers who rely on them.
The crowd chants "we are not going back", one of Harris's campaign slogans.
Image source, Getty ImagesJennifer Lopez is now speaking at Kamala Harris's rally in Las Vegas, which is happening at same time as Trump's appearance in Arizona.
In her opening remarks, she calls tonight's rally the "most important stage" she has ever been on, adding she believes in the power Latinos hold.
"I believe in the power of women... women have the power to make the difference in this election," says J-Lo, adding: "I believe in the power of Latinos."
Hispanic voters make up a crucial bloc of voters in the battleground state of Nevada - representing around a quarter of the state's population.
This is something Harris and her team are keenly aware of, with both Lopez and Mexican band Maná on stage tonight.
Nevada is one of seven swing states that will decide the results of the election. In 2020, Biden won by a small margin of 33,500 votes.
Harris is taking the stage now - stay tuned for updates.
Image source, Getty ImagesTrump opens his remarks in Arizona by repeating his familiar unfounded claims about widespread voter fraud in the US.
Comparing his 2020 defeat to Joe Biden to his 2016 win over Clinton, Trump says: "I got millions and millions more votes in the second election", adding that it spurred him on to run for a third time.
Trump has never conceded defeat in that election, which he lost by nearly seven million votes. He has repeatedly said it was "rigged", despite there being no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Speaking about the upcoming election, Trump says he will win "if we can keep that cheating down", adding that "some bad, bad things" prevented him winning in 2020, without providing evidence.
He goes on: "If we can keep that cheating down, because they're a bunch of cheats... we're going to have a tremendous victory.
"I think it will go down as one of the greatest victories of all time."
