President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he will not let billionaire Elon Musk take part in any space-related government decisions, when the president was asked about Musk's potential conflicts of interest amid his drive to cut government spending.


In a post on his Truth Social platform, former U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, would not be involved in any space-related government decisions if Trump were to return to office. This statement comes amidst speculation about Musk's influence in government due to his companies' significant contracts with federal agencies. Trump's comments imply a potential distancing from Musk, despite the latter's companies like SpaceX playing crucial roles in NASA's missions and other government space endeavors. This could signal a shift in policy or personal dynamics should Trump win the 2024 presidential election.
