If Elon Musk is formally appointed or nominated to a role within the Trump Administration before May 1, 2025, including Cabinet members, Executive Office staff, senior policy advisors, ambassadors, or White House staff whose appointments are publicly announced by official government channels, then he will be a member of the administration. The market resolves to "Yes" if this condition is met. Nominations qualify even if the individual is not confirmed. A role that does not require Senate confirmation, such as a non-governmental organization contracted by the Trump Administration, is not sufficient on its own to resolve the question. The primary resolution source is official government information, with credible reporting also considered in cases of ambiguity.
