Billionaire Elon Musk has suggested he will step up to the mark if appointed to a White House role by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Trump said yesterday if he is elected president in November he would be open to naming the Tesla CEO to a cabinet or advisory role.
'He's a very smart guy. I certainly would, if he would do it, I certainly would. He's a brilliant guy,' Trump said in an interview with Reuters.
Musk responded to the comments on X today with just five words: 'I am willing to serve.'

Musk would be a great addition to the team.
I say put him in charge of the space program.
He had to switch E to 3 because E was already taken.
Mercedes I think...
Musk would make a great presidential Chief of Staff.
That way he could put his prodigious brain to work
on many subjects and not be confined to one area.
Best get Bannon back on board
In the overall picture, Musk’s work with Tesla, Twitter/X, and especially SpaceX far outweigh any contribution he can make in government. He’s one of the few people in Silicon Valley (or out of it) who can truly move the needle. Any number of people can waste their lives trying to drain the DC swamp.
It needs to be high profile and involve no heavy lifting. State or the UN would do.
Kissinger wanted to lay off one third of the foreign service. Given the Musk history at Twitter I say go for it.
A very promising choice if he can swing it.
He may have Senate conformation problems and likely others down the road due to conflict of interest issues. SpaceX and Starlink are major DOD contractors, and Tesla gets direct and indirect subsidies.
Whoa! That would do it
RKF is just slightly to the right of Kamala.

RFK running mate says it’s possible they’ll endorse Trump.
There ya go, excellent!
“ A real African American”
With a high profile African American like Elon supporting Trump would other African Americans take his lead ? One of theirs after all.
Secretary of Cryptocurrency.
Maybe not a cabinet member but surely be named to head needed commissions that are voluntary by still necessary.
An early working name for the project we now know as “Starship” and “Super Heavy Booster” was “Big Falcon Rocket”.
yep
Thought the same.
