Elon Musk says he hasn’t spoken to former President Donald Trump about joining a second Trump administration.
“There have not been any discussions of a role for me in a potential Trump Presidency,” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said in an X post on Thursday.
Musk’s denial comes just a day after The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump wanted to give Musk an advisory role if he wins the 2024 election.
The pair have discussed ways for Musk to provide input on border security and economic policies, though the title and details of Musk’s role remain unclear, The Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
“President Trump will be the only voice of what role an individual plays in his presidency,” Brian Hughes, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, told the outlet.
Representatives for Musk and Trump didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from BI sent outside regular business hours.
