Trump Open to Musk Advisory Role in 2024

Former President Donald Trump expressed interest in involving Elon Musk in his administration if he wins the 2024 election, despite Musk's demanding schedule running multiple companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. Trump suggested that Musk could serve in a consulting role, particularly on artificial intelligence and government efficiency, rather than a formal Cabinet position due to his existing commitments. Musk has publicly supported Trump, including endorsing him after a recent assassination attempt and participating in campaign activities. Both Trump and Musk have acknowledged their strong professional relationship, with Musk showing willingness to contribute to a Trump administration in an advisory capacity. Trump emphasized Musk's expertise in AI and praised his innovative approach, while also recognizing the potential conflicts of interest and practical challenges of Musk holding a government position. The discussions come amid Trump's preparations for a presidential run against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
