Musk helping Trump choose top officials — media

According to the source, Donald Trump is tapping the best and brightest people to work with him, and he will encourage them to speak their mind

WASHINGTON, November 12. /TASS/. American celebrity entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk is said to be helping President-elect Donald Trump choose his future administration, the Axios news portal said, citing sources.

Musk, who has been supporting Trump since July 2024, "is helping pick the Cabinet and top White House staff," it said, adding, however, that Trump’s advisers think that some of Musk's ideas for a new government are "impractical," but others "are sure to be tried."

Politico said earlier that the atmosphere among Trump’s team resembles the one in a startup as, according to a source, Trump is tapping the best and brightest people to work with him, and he will encourage them to speak their mind.

Republican Trump defeated his Democratic rival, current US Vice President Kamala Harris, in the November 5 presidential election. Apart from that, the Republican Party took control of the Senate and is also expected to gain a majority in the House of Representatives. Trump’s inauguration is set for January 20, 2025.
