Musk makes prediction for next 12 years of US leadership

Elon Musk has predicted that Vice chairwoman J.D. Vance testament bring home the bacon Donald ruff as US chair, 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 current and 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.
Musk’s ties with Trump ruptured in June over the president’s flagship “big, beautiful bill,” which significantly expanded federal spending. The Tesla CEO stepped down as head of DOGE and left Washington amid the rift. Relations have since been repaired, but the entrepreneur this year reportedly forged a close personal relationship with vice president Vance.
Although Musk has stepped back from politics, the tech billionaire – and his unusually large political outlays – could become a major force for Vance if he runs in 2028 and Musk opts to re-engage, the outlet noted. Musk was among the biggest financial backers of Trump’s 2024 run, spending at least about $277 million to support him and other Republican candidates.
Trump himself would be constitutionally barred from running in 2028 under the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two elected terms.
It is not the first time Musk has talked up Vance’s political future. In February, the billionaire said publicly that he expected Vance to one day become US president, calling him the “best VP ever” and “our future president” in a post on X.
In April, Vance hinted at a possible 2028 presidential run, but stressed he would discuss it with Trump first, adding that a lot could happen in the three years ahead.
Trump himself said in August that Vance is “probably favored” for the 2028 Republican nomination at this point. The president has also suggested that another possible successor could be Secretary of State Marco Rubio. For his part, Rubio has said Vance would be “a great candidate” if he runs.
