Trump highlighted Musk’s potential value in government while also expressing skepticism about the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicle buyers, suggesting he might revoke it. On the other hand, he criticized the Biden administration‘s push for stricter emissions standards favoring electric vehicles, suggesting that if re-elected, he would roll back these regulations to support a more balanced approach that includes various types of vehicles.

Yet, as of now, Elon Musk has not publicly responded to Donald Trump’s comments or the possibility of being offered a role in Trump’s administration if he is re-elected.

Perhaps most important for the crypto community is the potential financial impact this combination could bring to the country and global finance. A Trump-Musk partnership could spark a Bitcoin rally, as suggested by a recent CNF update. As we can see in today Coin Market Cap data, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $60,957.93, having surged by 3.97% in the past day and 3.97% in the past week. See BTC price chart below.
