Donald Trump wants Elon Musk in his cabinet if he wins

Donald Trump is considering Elon Musk for a role in his cabinet if he is successful in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Despite their previous differences, the two have developed a closer relationship, especially following an assassination attempt on Trump in July. Elon has even provided Trump with a significant platform by interviewing him on his social media platform, X, which garnered over a billion views. Their relationship has had its ups and downs over the years, with Elon initially criticizing Trump’s suitability for the presidency but later joining his economic advisory councils to influence important issues. However, Elon walked away when Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Agreement on climate change. Their dynamic changed again in 2020 when Trump praised Elon as a genius and supported his efforts to reopen Tesla’s factory during the pandemic. Elon’s alignment with Trump on the issue of free speech further indicated a shift in their relationship. However, a rally incident where Trump called Elon a “bullshit artist” led to a temporary strain. Nevertheless, Elon publicly endorsed Trump after the assassination attempt, indicating a significant turnaround. It is rumored that the two have been engaging in extensive discussions on various topics, including immigration policies and technological innovations.
