Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering bringing tech mogul Elon Musk into a key advisory role should he win back the White House this November. According to insiders familiar with ongoing discussions first reported by The Wall Street Journal, the Tesla CEO could have a significant say in shaping policies on economic issues and border security under a potential Trump administration. Musk also appears to be working on a major election integrity operation for the upcoming election.

The pair, who have reportedly met several times and maintain regular communication, discussed ways in which Musk could provide “formal input” on a range of topics. This isn't the first time the two high-profile figures have broached serious topics.

Interestingly, Musk, who also owns the social media platform, X, and has emerged as a prominent influencer in his own right, has chosen not to donate to any presidential campaign this year. Instead, he appears focused on leveraging his extensive network within various industries to impact the upcoming election. This includes a reported effort alongside billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, to drum up support for a “data-driven” project aimed at combating voter fraud—a point of contention in previous elections.

Further stirring the political pot, Musk and Peltz have allegedly informed Trump about their influence campaign targeting U.S. business leaders, urging them to withhold support from Trump's main rival, Democratic President Joe Biden.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have discussed a possible advisory role for the Tesla leader should the presumptive Republican nominee reclaim the White House, the latest sign that the once-frosty relationship between the two men has thawed.

The role hasn’t been fully hammered out and might not happen, people familiar with the talks said, but the two men discussed ways to give Musk formal input and influence over policies related to border security and the economy, both issues on which Musk has grown more vocal.

Peltz was part of discussions to fund a “data-driven project to prevent voter fraud,” the WSJ reported, though no additional details were provided. Trump campaign spokesperson Brian Hughes made it clear to the Journal that “only Trump will decide what role an individual plays in his presidency.” Meanwhile, the WSJ reported that Musk did not respond to its requests for comment.

A Trump campaign official stated to The Hill that the former president “will be the only voice of what role an individual plays in his presidency.” The official further commented, “But it has been widely reported, and is demonstrated in a number of ways, that many of the nation’s important leaders in technology and innovation are concerned with the damage done to their industry by Biden’s failure to handle our economy and his moves to overburden innovators with government bureaucracy and unrelenting regulation.”

Musk and Trump, both high-profile figures, have occasionally interacted in the public eye, typically around business and politics. Their relationship has seen various phases, with Musk at times expressing critical views on Trump's policies as president, to later coordinating on topics where the pair's interests overlap, such as space and technology. Musk has also escalated his criticism of Biden's handling of border security, expressing his concerns over the administration's policies. Musk's critique aligns with issues he has raised about government regulations and economic strategies that, in his view, affect national security and economic stability.
