Musk has a long history of working in artificial intelligence. He was instrumental in the founding of OpenAI before falling out with the company’s CEO Sam Altman. Several of his other companies including X and Tesla are heavily invested in AI. X launched an AI chatbot called Grok, while Tesla aims to be one of the pioneers in developing autonomous driving and humanoid robots. Musk also has is own AI startup called xAI.
For his part, Musk said earlier this month that if Trump were to win reelection in November he’d welcome the opportunity to join a governmental audit committee.
During an X Spaces conversation with the former president, Musk pitched the idea of a “government efficiency commission” that would review public spending, saying he would “be happy to help out” on such a project. Trump replied that he would “love” to have Musk on such a committee.
He reiterated that point during the clip with Ryan.
“What he really would like to do is get involved in cutting some of the fat, and he does know how to do it,” Trump said. “He loves the country. And, you know, it’s just an amazing thing.”
Musk endorsed Trump immediately after the assassination attempt against the former president in July. Since then, the two men have heaped praise on one another. Musk lauded Trump’s bravery after the assassination attempt, while Trump commended Musk’s endorsement of his presidential bid and his smarts.
“He’s great,” Trump said on Sunday. “He is a totally unusual character. And he’s smart. We have to cherish our geniuses. You know we don’t have too many of them, right?”
