Trump Says He’s Considering a White House Role for Elon Musk and a Major Reversal on EV Policy
A Trump presidency could open up a whole new world for Tesla CEO Elon Musk and for the electric vehicles Musk’s company produces, according to former President Donald Trump.
Trump was asked in a new interview if would consider Musk for a Cabinet or advisory spot in his administration, according to Reuters.
“He’s a very smart guy. I certainly would, if he would do it, I certainly would. He’s a brilliant guy,” Trump said.
But Trump was not as enthused about a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicle purchases that was approved by Congress during the Biden administration.
“Tax credits and tax incentives are not generally a very good thing,” Trump said.
