Former President Donald Trump has expressed interest in appointing Elon Musk to a significant role in his administration if he wins the upcoming election. During a Reuters interview, Trump praised Musk, stating, “He’s a very smart guy… a brilliant guy,” when asked about potential advisory or Cabinet positions for the tech billionaire.

Musk, who has recently taken on more conservative viewpoints, showed support for Trump on social media by posting an AI-generated image of himself at a podium, signaling his readiness to serve. He officially endorsed Trump last month and conducted an interview with him on his platform, X, the previous week.
