Former President Donald Trump expressed interest in appointing Elon Musk to a Cabinet position or as an advisor if he wins a second term. In a Reuters interview, Trump mentioned that he would welcome Musk’s involvement, contingent on the billionaire’s willingness to accept. Trump recently praised Musk’s electric vehicles and noted a distinction between supporting electric cars and supporting gasoline-powered and hybrid vehicles.
Earlier this year, Musk distanced himself from talks of a potential advisory role with Trump but recently appeared to align more closely with him. Following an assassination attempt on Trump, Musk publicly endorsed him and indicated interest in contributing to a proposed “government efficiency commission”.
Forbes estimates Musk’s net worth at $248.6 billion, ranking him as the world’s wealthiest person, while Trump’s net worth is approximately $4.4 billion. The situation remains dynamic as observers await Musk’s response to Trump’s offer.
