Former U.S. President Donald Trump, currently a Republican presidential candidate, has recently indicated that he would consider appointing Tesla CEO Elon Musk as an advisor if he returns to the White House. Trump has highlighted his growing rapport with Musk, describing it as a “bromance,” and has expressed interest in consulting the electric vehicle mogul on various matters.
Trump shared his thoughts in a podcast interview on the “Sean Ryan Show.”
“He can sort of, as the expression goes, consult with the country and give you some perfect ideas,” he told Ryan.
“What he really would like to do is get involved in cutting some of the fat, and he does know how to do it,” Trump added.
However, Trump said, “I’d put him in the Cabinet, absolutely, but I don’t know how he could do that with all the things he’s got going.”
Trump has maintained a negative stance on electric vehicle incentives, claiming to review the elimination of tax credits for EV purchases if he regains power. Nonetheless, he holds a friendly relationship with Musk, who recently publicly supported him.
On that day, Musk emphasized on his social media platform X, “Trump will save democracy and America.” He added that the election of Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris would lead to a disaster.
Previously, on August 12, Donald Trump and Elon Musk appeared together on a livestream on Musk’s social media platform X. During the broadcast, they criticized Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
