USA TODAY The connection between two of America's most powerful figures, former President Donald Trump and tech giant Elon Musk, has heated up in the public eye over the past few months. The latest development came Thursday, when Trump said if he wins another term in November, he would give Musk a leading role of a government efficacy commission he said he would create.
