Elon Musk, known for his vast wealth and global influence, is considering a new venture into politics. Over the past year, Musk has engaged in discussions on various world issues, met with leaders and lawmakers about AI, space, and satellite technologies, and even met with Chinese officials.
Now, reports suggest he’s eyeing a role as an advisor to Donald Trump, the likely Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election. According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk has talked about advising Trump if he wins in 2024. This move could give Musk significant sway over US policies.
Neither the Trump campaign nor Musk has officially commented on these discussions. Musk denied the report on X, stating there haven’t been talks about a role in a potential Trump presidency.
However, if this partnership materializes, it would build on Musk’s previous involvement in the Trump administration. Musk previously served on business advisory councils but resigned over differences on climate policies.
Aligning with Trump could enhance Musk’s influence on global issues, given his growing alignment with conservative viewpoints. Musk has been vocal about right-wing causes, opposed Covid lockdowns, and supported anti-vaccine sentiments. His platform, X, has also promoted conservative content.
A closer tie with Trump could benefit Musk’s companies, like SpaceX and Tesla, which rely on government support and policies.
Critics raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest if Musk has direct access to a future President Trump. They highlight the need for transparency and accountability in such relationships.
The discussion around Musk’s political journey reflects broader debates about the role of business leaders in governance and the impact of their actions on society.
