Former President Donald Trump has floated the idea of giving Elon Musk a prominent role in a future administration, and it’s not just fluff. His recent chat on the Shawn Ryan podcast turned into a brainstorming session that had listeners wondering if the electric tycoon might soon be hailed as the “Secretary of Efficiency” or some equally ambitious title.
During Trump and Musk’s previous discussion on X, Trump had already hinted at the possibility of Musk joining a potential cabinet, demonstrating an eagerness to have the tech giant on board. True to his style, Trump is casting Musk as a genius who could slice through government inefficiency like a hot knife through butter. Musk, for his part, quickly responded to the idea with enthusiasm, expressing readiness to serve his country, perhaps while also overseeing some intergalactic endeavors.
In a recent interaction where Ryan probed about Musk’s potential role, Trump couldn’t resist singing Musk’s praises. He emphasized that the U.S. may not have a deep bench of geniuses, but Musk certainly qualifies as one. Trump sees Musk as someone who could trim the fat from government bureaucracy, a mission that resonates in a conservative world where wasteful spending is akin to crime.
The former President didn’t shy away from the topic of artificial intelligence, either. He pointed out that Musk, who runs multiple businesses, might struggle to fit the traditional cabinet mold. However, his vision for Musk included a consultative role where Musk could provide strategic guidance on AI, which Trump deems critical for national security. After all, if the U.S. doesn’t lead in AI development, the Red Dragon known as China surely will.

Musk’s endorsement of Trump following an assassination attempt in July has solidified his status as a potentially invaluable ally. His willingness to pledge tens of millions to Trump’s campaign suggests he isn’t just a casual admirer but a serious supporter who understands the stakes at hand. The prospect of Musk’s influence in government could represent a seismic shift, blending cutting-edge technology with an administration committed to efficiency and innovation. So, if the stars align, Americans might just find Musk standing beside Trump, ready to revolutionize the way the government operates—one hyperloop at a time.
