Elon Musk is getting closer to the Trump administration.
The SpaceX and Tesla CEO was selected to join President Donald Trump’s Manufacturing Jobs Initiative, CNBC reported Friday. This is the second committee Musk has joined under Trump — he is also part of the president’s economic advisory board.
