From Breitbart: In a virtual address to a private gathering of former federal appointees in Texas last month, Elon Musk outlined what he called a “great 12-year span” — beginning with Donald Trump’s ongoing second term and continuing through two projected terms of Vice President JD Vance — during a reunion of his former federal cost-cutting team.
Details of the speech Musk delivered at the event were first reported by Politico. The closed-door reunion took place on November 22 inside a Musk-owned building near his Boring Company and SpaceX operations in Bastrop, Texas. Around 150 current and former members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), along with family members, attended the gathering. Musk appeared virtually rather than in person, explaining he chose not to travel due to concerns over his safety.
Speaking from what was described as a dark, undisclosed location, he told the audience he sees himself as one of the top three assassination targets in the country, ranking only behind Trump and Vance. That claim echoed fears Musk has voiced before, including during a Tesla shareholder call where he half-joked that improving his fitness might reduce his risk of being killed.
Politico said in their report that Musk has “developed a strong personal relationship with the vice president” this year, and his support “would be a powerful booster for Vance if he runs in 2028 and Musk chooses to be involved.”
President Trump echoed a similar sentiment at his Cabinet meeting this week.
While speaking about 2028, Trump said, It’s not gonna be me. It’s gonna be somebody who’s probably sitting at this table. Could be a couple people sitting at this table…could be a couple people running TOGETHER sitting at this table!”
“We’ve done a great job in this country, and I want that to be carried forward,” Trump said.

Musk and President Trump had a falling out over the summer, but appear to have patched up their friendship after they were seen speaking at Charlie Kirk’s funeral in September.
Musk was among the high-profile guests who attended a black-tie dinner at the White House last month in honor of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
At a Cabinet meeting this month, Trump was asked about his relationship with Musk, and he replied, “I like Elon a lot. He really helped during the elections with his endorsement. I think we get along well.”
