Ilon Musk can become Donald Trump's advisor if he wins the presidential election. Trump and Musk have discussed the possibility of masking an official impact on borders and economics security policies - issues that a businessman is more and more actively expressed in public.
Musk, together with the Billiard investor Nelson Peltz, conducts a campaign of influence among elites, conducting meetings and convincing influential business leaders not to support the re-election of Baiden President. Despite the fact that two years ago, Trump and Musk have publicly exchanged images, their relationship has become friendly in recent months. They communicate on the phone several times a month.
The presidential candidate and the billionaire have already discussed immigration, technologies, sciences and US space forces. Their views and interests have become more coordinated. Musk made it clear that he was not interested in simply financial support for Trump's campaign, as other billionaires do. Instead, he decided to use his influence in business and technological circles to help defeat Biden by enlisting the support of influential allies.
According to the source close to the mask, it is concerned about the development of the country. In particular, Musk criticizes what he calls the "virus of the awakened mind", which, in his opinion, is a source of liberal policy, including programs of diversity, justice and involvement, which, according to conservatives, create differences.
The possible advisory role of the mask may be similar to the one previously occupied by Isaac Perlmutter, the former Marvel chairman and the trustee of Peltz and Trump. During Trump's presidency, Perlmutter was an adviser to the veterans department with other Trump Mar-A-Saga residence members in Florida.
Musk worked in the White House Business Consultative Groups during Trump's presidency, but resigned in 2017 because of the decision of Trump to remove the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. The latest talks between Trump and mask also concerned some mask companies, such as a social media X Media Platform, Tesla electric vehicle manufacturer and SpaceX rocket.
Tesla, the most expensive carmaker in the world, is watching the fall in the value of the shares and recently recorded the lowest profit in recent years. Musk and Trump discussed the electric vehicles and tax benefits on them, although Trump criticizes electric vehicles during the election campaign, emphasizing their shortcomings for long trips and calling for duties on a car made in Mexico.
Musk also asked Trump to use the X platform more actively, including the function of living audio "Spaces". Trump was active on the platform when it was known as Twitter, having more than 88 million subscribers. However, in an effort to develop his own Truth Socal platform, launched in 2022, Trump published only one post from the moment of recovery of his account after buying a mask platform.
