Elon Musk has predicted that Vice President J.D. Vance will succeed Donald Trump as US president, and that the country will enter a “great 12-year span” of leadership that will include Trump’s current tenure and successive terms for Vance, Politico has reported.
Musk made the remarks during a closed-door video appearance on November 22 to a reunion of his former federal cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team in Bastrop, Texas, the outlet wrote on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the private meeting.
Trump launched DOGE soon after taking office in January, touting it as a sweeping effort to slash federal waste and tapping Musk to be his government efficiency czar.
