About Trump, Musk said, "He does call me out of the blue for no reason. I don’t know why, but he does."

Musk continued by saying that many of Trump's friends now own and like Tesla vehicles. Trump is "a huge fan of the Cybertruck," he continued.

The Wall Street Journal reported last month on what it dubbed the pair's 'growing alliance', and the tech tycoon has now confirmed that he and Trump have held discussions.

According to the Journal, which cited sources with information, Trump is thinking of giving Musk a position as an advisor in the White House should he win back the president in the fall. Musk didn't reply to the assertion.

Additionally, Tesla shareholders agreed on Thursday to move the company's state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas and to reinstate Musk's $56 billion compensation package, which had been revoked by a Delaware judge.
