Ron Paul responds to Elon Musk’s invitation to join Trump administration

Paul, known for his criticism of federal policies such as the Federal Reserve, mass surveillance, and the military-industrial complex, has expressed openness to the idea. Responding to Tesla CEO Elon Musk on social media platform X, Paul said he would be “happy to talk” with Musk about joining a potential Department of Government Efficiency.

Musk recently posted that he would welcome Paul’s involvement in the department, which he humorously referred to as the “Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),” alluding to the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.

Musk’s interest in a governmental role has become increasingly visible, with the CEO explicitly stating his willingness to serve in a Trump-led administration if the opportunity arises. Following Musk’s post, Trump hinted at appointing him to an advisory or official role if elected president.
