President Donald Trump is reportedly in talks with Elon Musk that, in the event of being reelected in the upcoming elections this November, to turn the owner of companies like Tesla or X (formerly Twitter) into an advisor for economic and border policies, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump have quite similar profiles, both have billionaire fortunes who do not hold back in voicing their opinions, and in fact, it seems they like to be controversial. In addition, both have a common great enemy, the current occupant of the White House (following his somewhat-dubious victory in 2020) and political rival for these elections, Joe Biden, whom they do not hesitate for a second to criticize vigorously through social media or any other opportunity that arises.
It was in March of this year, after a meeting between both, where Musk said he would not finance the campaigns of either Trump or Biden, however, the magnate has assured that he intends to use his influence to help defeat the current president, as noted by the WSJ.
In recent years, Musk has been getting closer to the Republican Party, and has denounced Biden for intentionally allowing migrants to cross the border between the US and Mexico.
Although initially Musk has not publicly shown his support for Trump, close sources claim that they have conversations very often, and say that the former president and candidate is clear about the role he wants Musk to play.
The two have discussed ways for Musk to fully enter a new sector, and have “influence” on economic and border security policies in the event that Trump is reelected. At the same time, they have discussed the intention to finance a data-based platform to “prevent electoral fraud.”
Donald Trump has continuously claimed (and with more than a little justification) that organized and orchestrated electoral fraud in six key ‘swing states’ in 2020 is what denied him a second term in office. Indeed, evidence has emerged since of mass ‘ballot-stuffing’ in key precincts, vote counts that were stopped on election night for no apparent reason only for video evidence to show poll workers surreptitiously adding new ballots to the count once everyone else had gone home, states that violated constitutional law by unilaterally instigating mass postal vote campaigns despite not having been approved by their state legislature (a legal requirement), and billionaire tech moguls like Meta’s Mark Zuckerburg donating literally hundreds of millions of dollars to ‘get-out-the-vote’ proxies who have provably used that money for mass so-called ‘ballot harvesting’, not to mention Big Tech’s disgraceful and deliberate suppression of the Hunter Biden story in October 2020.
When faced potentially with a similar situation this November, it’s any wonder both Trump and Musk are concerned with electoral integrity and to use their vast resources to combat fraud in the voting process.
When asked about the possibility of this happening, none of the parties involved responded, only Trump’s campaign spokesman, Brian Hughes, told the WSJ that only Trump will decide “what role an individual plays in his presidency.”
We’ll have to wait and see what happens as the time approaches, but for Musk to become a political advisor to Trump is a theory not far from reality, as we remember that, although it is an almost insignificant detail, Musk was the one who restored Trump’s Twitter account which was terminated in January 2021 after the President was (falsely) accused of inciting the kerfuffle on the Capitol during the certification of Biden’s ‘win’.
