Donald Trump says he would like Elon Musk in his cabinet

The acronym appears to be a reference to Dogecoin, a meme cryptocurrency that Musk has previously promoted.

“I’m willing to serve,” Musk captioned his post.

Representatives for Musk and the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.

Talk of Musk joining a second Trump administration has been rife in recent months.

In May, The Wall Street Journal said Musk had spoken with Trump about joining his government.

Musk dismissed The Journal’s report in an X post, saying “there have been no discussions about a role for me in a potential Trump presidency.”

But Musk appears to have softened his stance on working for a potential Trump administration.

During his live broadcast with Trump last week, Musk said he would be willing to serve on a possible government efficiency commission if Trump is re-elected president.

“I think it would be great to have a government efficiency commission to look at these things and make sure that the taxpayers’ hard-earned money is being spent in a good way, and I’d be happy to help with things like that. a commission,” Musk said during the interview with Trump.

“I would love to,” Trump replied.

Musk is not the first name Trump has publicly considered for his cabinet.

In July, Trump told Bloomberg Businessweek that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon “is someone I would consider” as Treasury secretary.

A week later, he recanted the statement. The former president said in a Truth Social post on July 23 that he “never discussed or considered having Dimon as treasury secretary.”
