Former President Donald Trump is considering appointing Elon Musk to help advise him in the White House after the pair patched up their relationship in recent months.
The 45th president has not ironed out the details and a position might not materialize, the Wall Street Journal reported — but the two have been in talks about how the tech mogul could give “formal input” on issues like the border, the economy and preventing voter fraud.
Their initial icy relationship has been thawing recently, and Musk — the world’s third-richest man — is now in direct phone contact with Trump; the pair talk “several times a month,” according to the outlet.
Musk, alongside billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, has also spoken to Trump about an effort Musk launched to convince business leaders not to support President Biden in November.
Biden has invited Musk to the White House. Musk should take precautions.
