In the event that he wins the November election, former President Trump expressed concern that Tesla CEO Elon Musk would be too preoccupied to serve in his Cabinet. However, he suggested that the billionaire tech magnate could “consult.”
“He wants to be involved. Now, look, he’s running big businesses and all that, so, he can’t really — I don’t think he’d be [free] for the Cabinet,” Trump said in a new interview.
“I’d put him in the Cabinet, absolutely, but I don’t know how he could do that with all the things he’s got going. But he could sort of, as the expression goes, consult with the country and give you some very good ideas.” he continued.
The former president had previously expressed his intention to consider the Tesla CEO for a position in his Cabinet.
Musk, who also owns the social platform X, which was previously known as Twitter, endorsed Trump in the presidential campaign and has supported a super PAC that supported the former president’s bid.
Musk also expressed his willingness to participate in a government commission that would investigate the national debt and congressional expenditures during a two-hour conversation between Trump and Musk on X earlier this month.
