On August 20, former US President Trump said that if he is re-elected as US President, he will consider appointingTeslaand SpaceX CEO ElonMusk(Elon Musk) as a cabinet member or government adviser. Trump said in an interview that he would ask Musk to take this position "if Musk is willing."

But Trump also said he would consider eliminating a tax credit of up to $7,500 for new electric vehicles, which could have an impact on Tesla's business.

"Tax credits and tax incentives are generally not a good thing," Trump told reporters after a campaign event in York, Pennsylvania.

Musk publicly endorsed Trump shortly after he survived an assassination attempt at a campaign event in western Pennsylvania in July.

Trump is expected to face off against the Democratic nominee, incumbentVice PresidentKamala Harris (Kamala Harris). (Chenchen)
