Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump joined podcast host Shawn Ryan in an episode published Sunday where the 45th President said he’s looking at offering Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. positions in his administration.
When Ryan asked Trump about a potential Musk cabinet position, the GOP nominee said the businessman would be involved in “cutting some of the fat” in government.

Continuing, Trump said Musk “wants to be involved,” while noting, “Now look, he’s running big businesses and all that, so he can’t, really, I don’t think he could be in Cabinet. I’d put him in the Cabinet, absolutely, but I don’t know how he could do that with all the things he’s got going.”
“He can sort of, as the expression goes, consult with the country and give you some very good ideas,” Trump added, citing AI as one area of Musk’s expertise.
President Trump revealing he’ll be working with Musk if he’s re-elected comes just days after former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly announced his support for the Republican candidate.
Speaking of his plan to work with the Trump administration if the GOP defeats the Harris-Walz Democrat ticket, Kennedy recently said, “I want to make America healthy again, and so does President Trump.”
The political establishment is freaking out about Trump assembling a team of populists to take on the Deep State globalists running America into the ground.
