Former President Donald Trump is considering appointing Elon Musk to help advise him in the White House after the pair patched up their relationship in recent months, the New York Post said.

The 45th president has not ironed out the details and a position might not materialize, the Wall Street Journal reported — but the two have been in talks about how the tech mogul could give “formal input” on issues like the border, the economy and preventing voter fraud.

Their initial icy relationship has been thawing recently, and Musk — the world’s third-richest man — is now in direct phone contact with Trump; the pair talk “several times a month,” according to the outlet.

Musk, alongside billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, has also spoken to Trump about an effort Musk launched to convince business leaders not to support President Biden in November.

“President Trump will be the only voice of what role an individual plays in his presidency,” senior Trump adviser Brian Hughes told The Post.

“But it has been widely reported and is demonstrated in a number of ways, that many of the nation’s most important leaders in technology and innovation are concerned with the damage done to their industry by Biden’s failures to handle our economy and his moves to overburden innovators with government bureaucracy and unrelenting regulation.”

Musk, the owner of the social media platform X and the founder of Tesla and Space X, has previously said he would not give money to either candidate and has been openly anti-Biden.

But, the South African-born billionaire has painted himself as largely an independent.

Musk became a US citizen in 2002.
