In an interview with Reuters on Monday, Trump was asked whether he would consider Musk for an advisory or even cabinet position, to which he replied enthusiastically.
“He’s a very smart guy,” Trump told the news agency. “I certainly would, if he would do it, I certainly would. He’s a brilliant guy.”
Elon has since responded to the comments by stating that he is “ready to serve,” posting an image of himself as the head of the Department for Government Efficiency.
