Tech billionaire Elon Musk and his business empire stand to reap massive rewards if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House.
Elon Musk joins former US President Donald Trump during a campaign event in Butler, Pa., on Oct. 5, 2024.
“I love Elon Musk,” Trump said at a rally in July.
It’s not clear how Musk and Trump would navigate the ethical questions around a possible government role for the tech billionaire.
“He would be in much less trouble in a Trump administration because Trump shares his hostility to regulation and regulators,” Richard Pierce, a law professor at George Washington University specializing in government regulation, told NBC News in an interview earlier this year.
