After President Trump was elected, he is offering high-profile positions to key figures in Silicon Valley who helped him win. Elon Musk plays an important role in the transition team, along with a group of tech industry Trump supporters collaborating with the new government to varying degrees of formality. These roles range from pure advisory positions to traditional appointments. For instance, Musk’s "Government Efficiency Department" is an advisory group rather than an actual U.S. department. Investor Marc Andreessen provides advice to Trump while still retaining his daily job. Jacob Helberg, an advisor at Palantir Technologies Inc., will take on a more standard role as Deputy Secretary of State.
