Billionaire Elon Musk, during a discussion with former colleagues, put forward the idea that the current US Vice President, JD Vance, might become the next President of the United States. This information was reported by the American newspaper Politico, citing internal sources.
According to the publication, Musk shared this view while addressing personnel at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on November 22nd. This address was recorded on video, though it has not been released publicly.

During his address, the Tesla chief stated that the US is on the verge of “a great 12-year stretch,” referencing the term that has just begun for Donald Trump, followed by two such terms for Vance.
The article highlights that Musk has cultivated a positive relationship with Vance. The next US presidential election is scheduled for 2028, and the Vice President has yet to make a definitive statement regarding his intentions to run. Trump, for his part, will be constitutionally barred from seeking the office again due to the 22nd Amendment, which caps a leader’s tenure at two terms.
