Trump: Musk may not be qualified for White House cabinet positions, and his career is busy
In a recent podcast with Shawn Ryan, Trump said that if he is elected president, he may not be able to get Musk to serve in the White House cabinet because he needs to run his own companies and has a busy schedule, but he can participate in discussions and provide advice. He wants to be involved.
Now look, he's running a big business and all that, so he can't. I could put him in the cabinet, but I don't know how he can juggle it, he has so much to do.
Previously, Trump said that if elected as the next president of the United States, he would consider canceling the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit and would consider putting Musk in a cabinet or advisory role if he wished.
