Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering offering billionaire Elon Musk an advisory role in the White House if he is re-elected in 2024, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The role would allow the Tesla CEO to provide input on border security and economic policies, areas on which he frequently shares his opinions on social media.
Despite their previous tensions, Trump and Musk have reportedly been in regular contact, speaking on the phone several times a month. They have also discussed collaborating on initiatives to address voter fraud and support Trump’s re-election campaign.
In recent years, Musk has been increasingly vocal about political issues, criticizing certain legislations and the Biden administration’s handling of border security. He has also met with Trump and other wealthy Republican donors in Palm Beach, Florida, although the exact purpose of the meeting remains unclear.
While Musk has stated that he has never been to Trump’s estate in Palm Beach, Trump has confirmed the meeting and expressed uncertainty about whether Musk would endorse him in the future. Musk, for his part, has made it clear that he will not be donating money to any candidate for the upcoming elections.
The potential collaboration between Trump and Musk has sparked interest and speculation, as two influential figures in business and politics consider working together in a new capacity.
