The American public has chosen Donald Trump as the next President, marking a triumphant return to power. Known for his vision to 'Make America Great Again,' Trump's team is almost ready. It would not be an exaggeration to say that billionaire Elon Musk is poised to be a key figure in this team.
Tesla CEO Musk openly endorsed Trump during the U.S. elections, campaigning nationwide to drum up votes. His advocacy for Trump aims to steer America from decline. Musk is set to have a major role in Trump's cabinet in the coming year. So, what fuels Trump's belief in Musk, and why has he become so crucial?
Before entering politics, Donald Trump was a hardcore businessman with a global footprint. When he first became President in 2016, many remarked on a businessman leading the nation.
Trump has high expectations from the billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. Impressed by Musk, Trump believes that business leaders can thrive in politics. This business connection strengthens the bond between Musk and Trump.
Trump seeks change in American politics, appointing Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with streamlining bureaucracy.
Trump referred to this department as the present-day Manhattan Project, projecting substantial changes in federal bureaucracy by July 4, 2026. He emphasized that this administration would focus more on actionable work with less bureaucracy. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary of independence, this will be a treasured gift. I am confident Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will accomplish this.
When Musk acquired Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion, critics called it a losing deal. Yet, Musk quickly transformed it into a profitable venture. His strategic decisions after becoming Twitter's CEO were pivotal.
Musk dismissed four top executives of Twitter, including CEO Parag Agrawal, and implemented large-scale layoffs. He revived many blocked accounts, including Trump's.
Additionally, he launched the Blue Subscription service. Initially thought to fail, this paid subscription model surprisingly gained rapid traction. Trump's admiration for Musk stems from this alchemist-like ability.
Media worldwide say that whatever Elon Musk touches turns to gold. Twitter's (now X) success is a testament to this. Furthermore, companies like Tesla and SpaceX exemplify his business acumen, contributing to his soaring net worth, now at $314 billion. Perhaps Trump anticipates a similar miracle.
Recently, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang praised Elon Musk, describing him as an exceptional leader and noting the tremendous work of his AI company, xAI. Huang remarked that only one person can accomplish such feats, possessing both technical understanding and expertise in system construction, and that's Elon.
He highlighted how Musk rapidly developed the supercomputer Colossus, composed of 100,000 Nvidia GPU clusters, completing the project in just 122 days. This indicates not only Trump's faith in Musk but also America's expectation that he'll thrive in the 'America First' agenda—an agenda Trump fervently values.
