Former President Donald Trump recently expressed his intention to include Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, in his administration should he decide to run for a second term. In a formal interview with Reuters, Trump highlighted Musk’s intelligence and potential contribution, stating, “If he would do it, I certainly would; he is a brilliant guy.” This revelation comes amidst a complicated backdrop in which Trump is contemplating the removal of a significant $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicle purchases, a policy proposal that could adversely affect Tesla’s business operations. Trump critiqued the existing measures, declaring, “They do not go far enough and they are very expensive.” It is noteworthy that Musk has publicly expressed his support for Trump following a narrowly averted assassination attempt on the former president during a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this year. The dynamics between Trump and Musk present an intricate interplay of political ambition and corporate interests.
