Democratic presidential primary challenger Dean Phillips floated the idea of offering a Cabinet post to Elon Musk and his tech allies during a forum with Musk, hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman, and podcast host Jason Calacanis. Phillips also discussed his first 100-day priorities, including building a bipartisan Cabinet, implementing zero-based budgeting, and conducting a top-down assessment of the federal government. Both Ackman and Calacanis expressed support for Phillips' bid to challenge President Joe Biden, while the discussion also touched on border policy, the national debt, and criticisms of the media and the Democratic Party.
