Donald Trump eyes Elon Musk as policy adviser, boosting pro-crypto agenda

Donald Trump is reportedly considering Elon Musk as a potential policy adviser if he wins the US presidential election this year, according to The Wall Street Journal. The tech mogul could provide input and influence on economic and border security issues, aligning with Trump’s pro-crypto agenda. Musk has been actively engaging in an influence campaign to dissuade prominent US business figures from supporting the current Democratic President, Joe Biden. Although Musk has had mixed interactions with crypto, he recently reaffirmed his support for Dogecoin, while Trump has expressed a positive outlook on the digital asset landscape if elected. Musk has also explored options related to preventing voter fraud, along with billionaire investor Nelson Peltz. Both Trump and Musk have yet to comment on the potential advisory role. However, Musk has been critical of Biden’s policies and seems to have aligned more closely with the Republican Party in recent months. Musk’s political maneuvers, controversial statements, and endorsements on social media have drawn attention and impacted his public image.
