Can Elon Musk become US president? Donald Trump's big remarks amid raging debate

Hindustan Times  

Donald Trump on Monday called talks that he had ceded the presidency to billionaire Elon Musk a “hoax”, and said that he will be the new president of the United States. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk watch the launch of the sixth test flight of the SpaceX Starship rocket in Brownsville, Texas, U.S. “No, he’s not taking the presidency,” Trump told a conservative youth group Turning Point USA. Trump's statement comes amid growing complaints in the US about Musk's increased influence in the country's politics since the Republican presidential candidate was elected for a second term at the White House. Rather than an official department, it has become a group of small people working from Musk's SpaceX office in Washington and organized around an account on Musk's social media platform, X. Musk's influence has raised alarm bells in policy-making circles in the US as most of his companies are regulated by the federal government and receive contracts.
