From article, "Elon Musk and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick are joining Trump's economic advisory team"

(Elon Musk and Travis Kalanick, the chief executives of Tesla and Uber, are joining US President-elect Donald Trump's new economic advisory board.)
And...
(Launched in early December, the forum will provide economic advice and will "be called upon to meet with the president frequently to share their specific experience and knowledge as the president implements his plan to bring back jobs and Make America Great Again," the initial announcement said.)

Me, "The thing is...Will Trump listen to them? Obviously, if Trump agrees with their views, he will implement them, but what if he disagrees? Will this economic board be scrapped? Probably not. 
We can all agree, that at least, Trump is open to setting up this economic board, and wants to hear their views."

Continuing from article, (During the election, Musk, who in addition to the electric-car company Tesla is CEO of the aerospace firm SpaceX, supported Hillary Clinton and was critical of Trump, saying, "I think a bit strongly that [he] is probably not the right guy" to be president. Kalanick, the CEO of the ride-hailing company Uber, has also joked about the Republican president-elect, saying in 2015: "Oh my god, Donald Trump's gonna win. I'm going to move to China if Donald Trump wins." 

Me, "Hopefully, personal views will be left at the front door, and they can, meaningfully, advise Trump on important economic policy issues."
