Former President Donald Trump has expressed intentions to appoint Elon Musk to a cabinet position if he is elected again. During a campaign event in York, Pennsylvania, Trump discussed the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles, indicating he might eliminate it and suggesting Musk, CEO of Tesla, could play a significant role in his administration. Trump praised Musk’s intelligence, stating, “He’s a brilliant guy. I certainly would [appoint him], if he would do it.”

Their dialogue included thoughts on creating a government efficiency commission to optimize taxpayer spending, a proposal Musk is willing to contribute to. This comes after a two-hour discussion on Musk’s platform last week, where Trump acknowledged Musk’s reputation for cutting costs in business, referring to recent layoffs at Twitter.

Despite a previously rocky relationship, the dynamics appear to be changing; Trump shared a deepfake video of themselves dancing, and Musk endorsed him last month after a serious incident involving Trump.

**Key Points:**
– Trump plans to offer Musk a cabinet position if elected.
– Discussion of electric vehicle tax credit and potential termination.
– Proposal for a government efficiency commission.
– Shift in relationship with mutual endorsements and social interactions.
