Elon Musk has hinted at interest in a potential White House position during a recent X Space interview with former President Donald Trump. The conversation, which ranged from nuclear energy to government efficiency, has sparked speculation that Musk may be eyeing a role in a future Trump administration. During the chat, Trump suggested rebranding nuclear energy with Musk’s name, while Musk expressed a desire to help tackle government spending, possibly through a commission aimed at ensuring efficient use of taxpayer money.
Rumors had already been circulating that Trump might consider Musk for an advisory role if he wins the election, and this latest exchange seems to confirm that Musk is positioning himself for such a possibility. Social media users were quick to comment on the dynamic between the two, with some noting that Musk appeared to be auditioning for a role in the next Trump administration.
In their discussion, Trump also floated the idea of renaming nuclear power to give it a better image, while Musk discussed his views on climate change and global warming, only for Trump to pivot the conversation to the dangers of nuclear conflict. The exchange highlighted the stark differences in their perspectives, but also underscored Musk’s willingness to align with Trump’s agenda.
The Harris-Walz campaign’s response emphasized their concern over Musk’s influence and his potential role in a future Trump administration, framing the interview as a troubling development for those opposed to Trump’s policies.
