"I'm ready to serve": Elon Musk has taken up Donald Trump 's offer of a seat in the administration if he wins. The patron of Tesla has nominated himself as secretary of a new 'department of efficiency', abbreviated D.o.g.e., as stated in a photo he posted showing him behind a podium with this inscription.
Trump's idea
.Elon Musk as minister or advisor, tariffs in full swing, deregulation on the environment and climate change. This is what Donald Trump promised before his rally in the swing state of Michigan, which aroused controversy for his choice to speak in Howell, a town of 10,000 inhabitants whose history is linked to the Ku Klux Klan and where last month white supremacists marched chanting 'Heil Hitler' and displaying signs reading 'White Lives Matter'.
While another group shouted 'we love Hitler, we love Trump'.
Dem criticism
.The campaign of Kamala Harris - whose race Trump recently questioned by asking whether she is black or Indian - criticised the tycoon for planning the event in Howell without condemning what it called a 'blatant display of racism and anti-Semitism in his name'.
"The racists and white supremacists who marched in Trump's name last month in Howell saw him praising Hitler, defending neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, and telling far-right extremists to 'stay in the back and stand by,'" the Dem team charged, also referring to the former president's statement to paramilitary militias on the day of the Capitol assault.
