Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering appointing tech mogul Elon Musk as policy adviser role should he win the 2024 presidential election.Â
Sources close to the discussions reveal that talks have included proposals to grant Musk formal influence over economic policies and border security.
Musk, known for his leadership at Tesla and SpaceX, has been involved in a concerted effort to sway U.S. business leaders away from supporting President Joe Biden, part of a broader influence campaign.
Discussions have also touched on potential funding for a data-driven initiative aimed at combating voter fraud, although specifics of the project remain undisclosed.
Following a March meeting between Musk and Trump, the entrepreneur declared his intention to refrain from donating to either Trump or Biden, instead focusing on influencing the electoral outcome through other means.
While Musk has recently aligned more closely with the Republican Party, he has not formally endorsed Trump’s candidacy for the upcoming election.
However, Musk’s outspoken criticisms of President Biden’s policies and controversial public statements have reportedly taken a toll on his public perception, according to recent surveys.
This shift comes amidst Trump’s launch of his own social media platform, Truth Social, following his ban from mainstream platforms like Twitter.
