Former President Donald Trump told Reuters in an interview Monday that he would weigh giving Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk a role in a possible Trump administration.
“He’s a very smart guy. I certainly would, if he would do it, I certainly would. He’s a brilliant guy,” Trump said to Reuters when asked if Musk could be named as an adviser or Cabinet member.
Musk endorsed Trump last month on X, which the tech titan owns, after the former president’s attempted assassination.
In May, Musk said on X that “there have not been any discussions of a role for me in a potential Trump Presidency,” in response to a video about Wall Street Journal reporting about his alliance with Trump and a possible White House position.
