Trump teases potential role for 'great business guy' Elon Musk in administration: 'Secretary of Cost-Cutting'

Elon Musk could take a relatively active role in a potential second Trump administration, the former president told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

"He's a great business guy, and he's a great cost-cutter," he said during an exclusive "Sunday Morning Futures" interview. "And he [Musk] said, ‘I could cut costs without affecting anybody.’"

Bartiromo, drawing from that response, asked Trump whether Musk would be in his Cabinet if he assumes office again in January.

"He doesn't want to be in the Cabinet," he replied.
