Elon Musk may join White House if Donald Trump re-elected.
Former President Donald Trump is contemplating offering tech billionaire Elon Musk an advisory role in the White House if he secures re-election this fall, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Strengthening Ties Between Trump and Musk:
The relationship between Trump, 77, and Musk, 52, has reportedly warmed in recent months.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that the two influential figures have been regularly communicating via phone.
These conversations have included discussions about Musk potentially providing formal input on border security and economic policies.
Musk’s Vocal Criticism and Policy Stance:
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and founder of companies like SpaceX, X, and xAI, has been outspoken on social media about his views on border security and economic policies.

He has criticized what he calls the “woke mind virus” and has been particularly vocal about the Biden administration’s handling of border security, citing a surge in illegal entries through the southern border in recent years.
Discussions on Voter Fraud and Campaign Strategies:
The Wall Street Journal report also mentions that Musk and billionaire investor Nelson Peltz have been in talks with Trump regarding efforts to prevent voter fraud.
They have discussed strategies to persuade influential elites against supporting President Biden’s re-election campaign.
Potential Impact on Musk’s Business Ventures:
Musk’s potential advisory role in a Trump administration raises questions about his leadership responsibilities at his various companies.
His role as Tesla CEO is under particular scrutiny, with shareholders set to vote next month on the reinstatement of his $56 billion pay package.
This package was invalidated by a Delaware judge in January.
