While official announcements regarding cabinet nominations remain speculative, the inclusion of high-profile business figures like Musk and Lutnick indicates Trump’s inclination toward leveraging private-sector expertise. The discussion raises questions about the blending of corporate innovation and public governance, a theme that could dominate the political narrative if Trump secures another term.
