Report: Elon Musk Could Serve as Policy Adviser if Trump Wins Election

Billionaire Elon Musk Could Become Policy Adviser If Trump Wins Election: Report

In a surprising turn of events, it has been reported that Donald Trump is considering tapping billionaire Elon Musk as a policy adviser if he wins the upcoming presidential election. The Wall Street Journal revealed that the two have been in talks about ways for Musk to have “formal input and influence” over economic and border security policies.

Musk, known for his leadership at SpaceX and Tesla, as well as his involvement in the social media platform X, has reportedly been working on an influence campaign to persuade powerful U.S. business leaders not to support Democratic President Joe Biden. The discussions also included talks about funding a “data-driven project to prevent voter fraud.”

Representatives for both Trump and Musk have not yet commented on the reports. However, Trump campaign spokesperson Brian Hughes emphasized that only Trump will decide the role an individual plays in his presidency.

Musk, one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, has previously stated that he does not plan to donate money to either Trump or Biden. Instead, he aims to use his influence to help defeat Biden by rallying support from influential allies.

While Musk has publicly criticized Biden’s policies on immigration, electric vehicles, and tariffs, he has not formally endorsed any candidate for the upcoming election. Trump, on the other hand, has expressed uncertainty about whether he has Musk’s support.

Musk’s views and actions have sparked controversy in the past, with some consumers expressing concerns about his statements and behavior. Despite this, Musk’s potential role as a policy adviser in a Trump administration could have significant implications for the future of U.S. economic and border security policies.
