President Donald Trump is considering bringing in X boss Elon Musk as a senior advisor in his new administration if he wins re-election in November, according to reports.
In March, Trump and Musk met at the estate of conservative billionaire investor Nelson Peltz.
They were also joined by several other wealthy investors.
According to sources referenced by The Wall Street Journal, Musk would reportedly advise Trump on issues such as border security and the economy.
Musk and Peltz have also reportedly informed Trump about their intentions to fund a data-driven project to prevent voter fraud.
They also reportedly told Trump of a current influence campaign by Musk and others to convince business leaders to eschew support for Democrat President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
“Trump has told Musk, one of the world’s wealthiest people, he wants to find a way to get him more involved if he wins in November,” the Journal reported.
In recent years, Musk, who previously voted for Democrats, has increasingly drifted away from the Left.
He has since declared support for Republicans and frequently blasts Biden and the Democrats.
Musk’s political sentiments have included slamming the “woke mind virus.”
“The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters,” he said in a post on X in December 2022,
In May 2022, he said that he would vote for the GOP:
“In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.
“But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
“Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold.”
In November 2023, Musk warned:
“The scale of illegal immigration across the US southern border is staggering.”
In July 2020, Musk issued two tweets criticizing the Left.
The first likely confounded members of the Left confident that their support for attacks on America, through violent rioting and pushing Leftist ideology, was shared by everyone in the so-called center of the political spectrum.
Musk tweeted, “The left is losing the middle.”

In another post just 25 minutes later, Musk slammed the father of communism, Karl Marx.
“Das Kapital in a nutshell,” he wrote succinctly, followed by a picture of Marx with the statement in quasi-German, “Gib me dat for free.”

In May 2020, Musk famously tweeted, “Take the red pill.”
In the film “The Matrix,” the hero, Neo, is offered a choice between a red pill and a blue pill.
The red pill would free him from a dream world imposed on humanity and let him see reality.
Some conservatives aver that taking the “red pill” means a former liberal or leftist to wake up and embrace the conservative philosophy.
As an opinion piece in Fox News explained in 2017:
“The mainstream media failed to see the rise of Donald Trump in 2016.
“Now it’s overlooking another grassroots movement that may soon be of equal significance— the growing number of liberals ‘taking the red pill.’
“People of all ages and ethnicities are posting YouTube videos describing ‘red pill moments’—personal awakenings that have caused them to reject leftist narratives imbibed since childhood from friends, teachers, and the news and entertainment media.”
