Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during a shareholder meeting Thursday that he has a good rapport with former President Donald Trump, Fox News reported. This revelation comes as some speculate a future advisory role for Musk should Trump reclaim the White House.
Musk revealed that the former president periodically reaches out to him, suggesting a mutual respect and friendship. “He does call me out of the blue for no reason,” Musk said.
“I don’t know why, but he does,” Musk added. The SpaceX founder and CEO said that Trump is “very nice when he calls” and that the pair speak about the electric vehicles his company manufactures.
Musk said that in the past, he’s told Trump that electric vehicles are “pretty good for the future,” noting that “America’s the leader in electric cars.” In turn, Trump is particularly a “huge fan of the Cybertruck,” Musk said.
A Growing Alliance
Trump and Musk likely understand each other on a professional level, as both are accomplished and ambitious businessmen. However, it seems they share an ideological viewpoint in their vision for the future of America.
A source close to the matter said that Trump and Musk had “a growing alliance” and that Trump may use Musk in an advisory capacity if he wins in November. Musk did not address those rumors during the meeting.
However, Musk has increasingly championed many principles of the American right. He became a hero of conservatives by buying Twitter, restoring free speech on the social media platform, and exposing the bias always suspected about its censorship.
“To be totally frank, almost every conspiracy theory that people had about Twitter turned out to be true,” Musk said during an interview on the All In podcast interview in 2022. “Is there a conspiracy theory about Twitter that didn’t turn out to be true? So far, they’ve all turned out to be true. If not more true than people thought,” Musk added.

Popular Leaders
Trump and Musk also have much in common when it comes to their popularity as leaders. Trump has maintained a loyal voter base despite Democrats’ onslaught that included prosecutions and smear campaigns.
Similarly, Musk just notched another win as his Tesla shareholders voted to reinstate his $44.9 billion compensation package that a Delaware judge previously threw out, the Associated Press reported. They also opted to move the company’s domicile out of Delaware and into Musk’s home state of Texas.
Like Trump, Musk is undeterred by setbacks and his supporters appreciate that. They repay him with great loyalty and confidence in Musk’s leadership.
In fact, the approved compensation package is tied up in company investments that can’t be sold for five years, which ensures that Musk is there for the long haul. “It’s not actually cash, and I can’t cut and run, nor would I want to,” Musk said.
The relationship between Trump and Musk is a good thing for the nation and the American people. They are both brilliant, innovative, and successful businessmen who can right the path America is on before it’s too late.
