CEO's of SpaceX, Tesla and Uber join Trump as advisors

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick have joined President-elect Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum.

They will regularly meet with the soon-president to advise on business issues.

The announcement suggests a new link between the president-elect and Silicon Valley, which has been generally wary of the Trump presidency.

This week’s announcement also comes just ahead of a planned meeting at Trump Tower between tech industry leaders and Trump, which Musk is set to attend.
