Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a significant advisory role for Tesla CEO Elon Musk should he win the presidency this November. Sources familiar with the matter, as initially reported by The Wall Street Journal, indicate that Musk might influence a wide array of policies, particularly focusing on economic issues and border security in a potential Trump administration. Additionally, Musk is believed to be spearheading a major initiative on election integrity for the upcoming election.
The two have reportedly held multiple meetings and keep in regular contact, discussing ways Musk could provide formal input on various national issues. Despite Musk’s considerable influence and ownership of the social media platform X, he has opted not to contribute financially to any presidential campaigns this year. Instead, he is channeling his efforts into a broader impact on the election through a data-driven project aimed at preventing voter fraud, a recurring concern in previous elections. This project involves collaboration with billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, focusing on rallying U.S. business leaders to refrain from supporting Trump’s main competitor, Democratic President Joe Biden.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the specifics of Musk’s potential role in a Trump administration have not been finalized and may not materialize. However, discussions have included granting Musk formal sway over policies related to border security and the economy—areas where Musk has increasingly voiced his opinions.
Peltz has reportedly been involved in discussions about funding a data-driven project to mitigate voter fraud, though details remain sparse. Trump campaign spokesperson Brian Hughes emphasized to the Journal that the ultimate decision on roles within Trump’s presidency would rest solely with Trump. Musk did not respond to requests for comment from the Journal regarding these discussions.
