Musk, whose growing political apparatus has already proved its mettle, will gain more than just an ally in the White House. Trump has floated giving him an official role cutting government spending and with it the power to influence policy and the federal agencies that oversee his vast empire of companies.
Musk spent more than $130 million on Trump and down-ballot Republicans in competitive House races, vaulting him to the highest echelons of donors this election cycle.
Musk, being Trump's most aggressive surrogate, hosted town halls in Pennsylvania and appeared at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally with even higher billing than the Republican's own running mate, JD Vance.
On Election Day, Musk voted in Texas and then flew on his private jet to Florida to watch returns with Trump and his family at Mar-a-Lago.
