Elon Musk ... Cabinet Secretary?

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.

Musk is a pretty smart guy, who would be a natural figure for any president to want as an advisor on some level. I understand the incentives behind such an alliance, but let's not forget that Trump and Musk compete directly against each other at the moment, too. Truth Social is Trump's version of Twitter/X. That offers a small sense of intrigue to what is really a rather mundane development.
