Washington: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has playfully hinted at the possibility of joining a future Trump administration, following former President Donald Trump’s suggestion that he would welcome the billionaire into his cabinet.
Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond with a light-hearted post, stating, “I am willing to serve,” alongside an AI-generated image of himself standing at a lectern labeled “Department of Government Efficiency”—a nod to his fondness for the Dogecoin meme.
The post, which quickly went viral with over 20 million views, has sparked both amusement and speculation, with some taking Musk’s words seriously. Trump’s informal offer came after a campaign event in York, Pennsylvania, where he praised Musk as “a brilliant guy” and expressed his willingness to offer the tech mogul a cabinet position or advisory role should he win the upcoming election.
While the exchange appears to be in jest, the possibility of Musk joining a future Trump administration is not entirely outlandish, given the former president’s history of appointing business leaders to key positions. Musk’s recent show of support for Trump and their increasingly close relationship have only fueled the rumors further.
Despite the playful tone of Musk’s post, the prospect of his involvement in a future Trump government has captured the public’s imagination, with some conservative figures already celebrating the idea. Whether Musk’s statement was merely a joke or a hint at future political ambitions remains to be seen.
