On Tuesday, Trump made the announcement in an official statement.

The president-elect explained that the two will “work together to liberate our Economy, and make the U.S. Government accountable to ‘WE THE PEOPLE.’”

Vivek and Musk have been strong supporters of Trump throughout his campaign.

Musk continuously worked to combat disinformation perpetrated by the Kamala Harris campaign on his social media platform, X.

Harris’ campaign often lied about Trump’s views on abortion, in addition to lies related to the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” falsely claiming that Trump was personally involved. Musk endorsed Trump after he survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Soon after he dropped out of the GOP nominee race, Ramaswamy voiced his backing and support for Trump. Ramaswamy has also vehemently criticized Harris for her policies related to both illegal immigration and the economy.

Trump previously commended the young Indian-American entrepreneur, calling him “smart as hell.”
