In a statement, Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, "Elon Musk and President Trump are great friends and brilliant leaders working together to Make America Great Again.
Elon Musk is a once in a generation business leader and our federal bureaucracy will certainly benefit from his ideas and efficiency."
An adviser to Trump said that Elon Musk would join Trump in a meeting Wednesday with Republican lawmakers ahead of leadership elections.
In posts on X in the past week, Musk has pushed various policy ideas including deporting immigrants and slashing government spending.
On Sunday, one of Trump's grandchildren, Kai Trump, posted a photo on X of herself with Musk, writing that Musk was "achieving uncle status."
