Former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed interest in appointing Tesla CEO Elon Musk to a cabinet or advisory role if re-elected, despite previously stating he would end tax credits for electric vehicles. Trump praised Musk as a "brilliant guy" and said he would consider him for a position. Musk hinted at a willingness to serve in a government role by posting an AI-generated image on social media, which showed him at a podium labeled "Department of Energy Efficiency."
