Former President Donald Trump expressed interest in potentially giving Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk a role in a hypothetical Trump administration. During an interview on Monday, Trump praised Musk as a 'very smart guy' and stated that he would consider appointing him as an adviser or Cabinet member due to his brilliance.
Trump's comments came after Musk endorsed him last month on a platform owned by the tech mogul, following an incident where Trump was targeted for assassination. Musk had previously addressed speculation about his involvement in a Trump presidency, clarifying that there had been no discussions regarding a potential role for him in such a scenario.
The possibility of Musk serving in a Trump administration raises questions about the intersection of technology, business, and politics. As the head of two prominent companies in the tech and space industries, Musk's potential involvement could bring a unique perspective to government decision-making.
While Musk's political affiliations and potential government roles remain uncertain, his relationship with influential figures like Trump underscores the growing influence of tech leaders in shaping political discourse and policy. Whether Musk will indeed take on a formal position in a future Trump administration or any other political capacity remains to be seen.
