  • In a pre-taped interview with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier, Trump revealed that he is set to turn Musk loose on two more departments - the Pentagon and the Department of Education.

The article from Newsweek discusses a hypothetical scenario where former President Donald Trump, if re-elected, might appoint Elon Musk to a significant role within his administration, potentially as a "chief executive czar." This idea stems from Trump's admiration for Musk's business acumen and his ability to innovate, particularly in the tech and space industries. The article speculates on how Musk's involvement could lead to a transformation in government operations, focusing on efficiency and innovation. However, it also raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest, given Musk's extensive business interests. Additionally, the piece touches on Trump's past comments about Musk and the broader implications of such an appointment on policy, especially in areas like electric vehicles, space exploration, and social media regulation. The article also briefly mentions the military's expectations to find fraud and abuse, though this seems more tangential to the main discussion about Trump and Musk.
