Donald Trump said that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk likely couldn’t serve in his hypothetical White House cabinet due to the demanding schedule of running his various companies, CNBC reports.
Said Trump: “He wants to be involved. Now look, he’s running big businesses and all that, so he can’t, really, I don’t think he could be cabinet. I’d put him in the cabinet, absolutely, but I don’t know how he could do that with all the things he’s got going.”
