Elon Musk says US Vice President JD Vance will one day follow in his boss Donald Trump’s footsteps as \”future president\” Musk, the world’s richest person and Trump’s top donor during the 2024 presidential campaign, posted a similar message last week. Vance is the third-youngest vice president in history and one of the least experienced, having previously served just one term as a US senator. Vance was an uncompromising \”Never Trumper\” at the time of Trump’s first election, labeling the conservative tycoon \”a moral disaster\” and comparing him to Adolf Hitler. But Vance reinvented himself when he entered politics, winning Trump’s endorsement in the 2022 Ohio Senate race. He is now a best-selling writer, and has changed his view of Trump significantly since the president’s first stint in the White House. He has been seen more often at Trump’s side during his first weeks in office than Musk has been during the past few months of his tenure in office. He was also seen at the helm of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). While classified as a \”special government employee\” and \”senior adviser to the president,\” Musk is more often seen at his boss’s side than Vance.
