The saying “No land, no bull, yet naming the son Somalingam” fits former U.S. President Donald Trump perfectly. Even before the presidential elections are over, Trump has openly stated that he will bring Tesla CEO Elon Musk into his cabinet.
Politics is all about strategies and counter-strategies. There have been instances where those expected to lose have won at the last minute by swaying voters in their favor. Former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump seems to be following the same playbook.

Trump made a sensational announcement that if he is elected president, he will include Tesla CEO Elon Musk in his cabinet. He also added that if that’s not feasible, he would appoint Musk as an advisor, revealing his intentions. Praising Musk as a very intelligent person, Trump also hinted at offering incentives by suggesting he might consider scrapping the $7,500 credit tax on electric vehicles. He is trying to turn this situation to his advantage, suggesting that tax incentives should be beneficial to the economy.
This isn’t the first time Trump has offered Musk a key position. In 2016, he appointed Musk to two crucial advisory councils. However, Musk disagreed with Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement and resigned from his positions in 2017.

Elon Musk responded positively to Trump’s recent comments, stating on the platform X (formerly Twitter) that he is ready to lead a Department of Government Efficiency. He recently proposed the idea of establishing a department to streamline government investments and curb waste.
There’s no need to elaborate on the Trump-Musk relationship. After Trump secured the Republican nomination, Musk openly supported him and even raised funds for his campaign. Many Americans believe that this alliance works well because Musk is a businessman.
Democratic leaders are closely observing Trump’s strategies. They believe Trump’s plan is to gain an upper hand over his opponents through rhetoric. Trump is known for skillfully turning situations to his favor, and Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly preparing to counter him effectively.
