Former President Donald Trump and his allies on the Republican National Committee want to convince Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to speak at the GOP convention in July, people familiar with the matter told CNBC.
It is not clear if Trump or his allies have raised the idea with Musk.
Musk previously voiced support for the Republican presidential candidacy of Florida Gov.
"He said the other day, 'Oh, I've never voted for a Republican,' " Trump said at that rally.
Thiel also said in that interview that Trump's presidential administration, which spanned January 2017 to January 2021, was "crazier" and "more dangerous than I thought."
