In recent years, Elon Musk appears to have gone from lightly flirting with politics to having a full-blown love affair with growing his influence in Washington.
As the presidential election inches closer and the billionaire businessman continues teasing the idea of a Trump endorsement, it’s becoming clear that Musk has a lot at stake depending on who next leads the country.
While Musk hasn’t publicly endorsed any candidate, Business Insider previously reported he bonded with fellow billionaires over a shared distrust of Democrats and privately discussed how best to defeat them in this year’s election.
According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, Musk has also talked with the Trump campaign about taking on a potential advisory role if the former president returns to the White House.
