In recent months, the duo Elon Musk and Donald Trump, who have been constantly in the spotlight globally and on social media, have made headlines again with a different news story. Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump stated in a recent announcement that, if elected, Tesla and X owner Elon Musk could be part of his administration.
Is Elon Musk joining Donald Trump’s cabinet?
After a campaign event in York, Pennsylvania, U.S. presidential candidate Trump spoke to Reuters and described Elon Musk as a “very smart guy,” indicating that Musk could take on a role in his cabinet or as an advisor.
When asked if he would consider giving Musk a role in his cabinet if elected, Trump responded, “I would definitely consider it. If he wants to, I would absolutely consider it. He’s a very bright guy!”
This statement, of course, comes as no surprise after Musk openly endorsed Trump in the U.S. presidential race last month. Musk, one of the most influential figures in the tech world, potentially joining a Trump administration, would make waves both in the business world and political circles.
Trump refrained from giving detailed information about Musk’s potential role, leading to speculation about which field Musk could contribute to. It’s possible that Musk’s experience could be utilized in areas like technology, energy, space exploration, or the economy.
Alongside all of this, how seriously Elon Musk is taking the situation is another matter of debate… Following Trump’s statement, Musk posted an AI-generated image on his official X (Twitter) account with the caption, “I am willing to serve!”
