White House names Trump's manufacturing council members
The White House administration
revealed the full membership of Donald Trump's manufacturing council.
In December 2015, Trump had
announced that Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris would lead the manufacturing
council.
The list released by the White
House shows that the council will also include the likes of SpaceX and Tesla
Motors CEO Elon Musk and the founder of Dell Technologies Michael Dell, among
others.
Being named in the manufacturing council marked the second time that
Elon Musk was picked for one of Trump's advisory groups.
Musk is also part of Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum.
Musk has also been rather vocal about his support for Trump, and
recently tweeted to support Trump's pick of Rex Tillerson as Secretary of
State.
Earlier this week Musk also met Trump.
Apart from Michael Dell and Musk, Trump's manufacturing council also
features heads of several industry leaders.
Elon Musk endorsed Rex Tillerson on several counts, praising him for
recognizing that "climate change does exist", and that action should
be taken. Musk also praised Tillerson for backing a carbon tax, which Musk believes,
will encourage the development of renewable energy sources.
Among others, the list features Ford CEO Mark Fields, General Electric
CEO Jeff Immelt, Intel Corporation CEO Brian Kraznich, Whirlpool CEO Jeff Fetig
Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenberg, Caterpillar
CEO Doug Oberhelman, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plant, and Johnson & Johnson
CEO Alex Gorsky.
