Why Elon Musk is taking over Trump’s campaign strategy

Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest individual and self-described “techno-king,” arrives dramatically to the sound of rock music. He steps onto a stage adorned with a large American flag, set in a school auditorium in suburban Philadelphia. As high-end production cameras capture the moment, Musk delivers an extended, spectacle-filled speech. To an uninformed observer, unaware of the current US political landscape, it could easily seem like Musk was running for President.

If Trump wins, Elon Musk stands to gain significant advantages

Donald Trump has promised to appoint Musk as the head of a “government efficiency commission,” granting him the authority to propose significant cuts to federal agencies and the ability to alter federal regulations. This position would give Musk control over the very regulators who oversee his companies. An example of this arose when SpaceX needed approval to release large amounts of potentially polluted water from its Texas facility. Musk argued that such procedures delay SpaceX’s progress toward reaching Mars, stating on X, “as long as it’s not hindered by bureaucracy.”

Musk is shifting the momentum in Trump’s favor’

In the Philadelphia school auditorium, Musk walked in to the tune of Brooks & Dunn’s “Only in America” and spoke about the stakes involved in the “future of America” and “civilization” itself. This marked Musk’s first effort to translate his online support for Trump into real-world action. He aimed to motivate voters in Pennsylvania to fully commit to voter registration and to encourage their community and friends to do the same before the state’s deadline. However, the event focused as much on Musk as it did on voting, as he is now investing tens of millions of dollars to sway voters in favor of Trump nationwide.
