Trump Teases Potential Role for ‘Great Business Guy’ Elon Musk in Administration: ‘Secretary of Cost-Cutting’

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at a unique role for billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk in his potential future administration. In a recent interview with Fox News, Trump referred to Musk as a “great business guy” and “great cost-cutter.” Musk, known for his ability to streamline operations and reduce costs without impacting overall productivity, has gained a reputation for his efficiency in leading major companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter).

Trump suggested the creation of a new position, “Secretary of Cost-Cutting,” which would focus on reducing wasteful government spending. While Musk has expressed minimal interest in formal government roles, his alignment with Trump’s goals of cost efficiency and innovation suggests potential collaboration in the future.
