If Trump wins, he may appoint Elon Musk for White House advisory role, reports suggest | World News

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering appointing Tesla CEO Elon Musk as an advisor to the White House if he wins the 2024 Presidential elections. According to a report by the New York Post, citing The Wall Street Journal, Trump and Musk have been in discussions about how Musk could provide “formal input” on issues such as the border, the economy, and stopping voting fraud.

The relationship between Trump and Musk has been described as warming up, with the two speaking on the phone “several times a month,” as reported by the WSJ. Musk, who is currently the third-richest person in the world, has also been in talks with billionaire investor Nelson Peltz about a campaign to persuade corporate executives not to support President Biden.

Despite publicly opposing Biden and stating that he would not donate money to any candidate, Musk has presented himself as largely independent. Born in South Africa, Musk became a US citizen in 2002 and has contributed to both Republican and Democratic causes in the past.

The potential appointment of Musk as an advisor comes as Trump and Biden gear up for the upcoming presidential elections in November. While Biden faces challenges on domestic and foreign policy issues, including conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, Trump is dealing with multiple criminal cases.

It remains to be seen how Musk’s possible role in the White House could impact the political landscape leading up to the elections. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
