Kalanick is an obvious choice for Trump, being a self-proclaimed Ayn Rand fanboy.

Musk is a much more surprising choice, not just because of his obvious environmentalism. Both Kalanick and Musk are well-known for not being very worker friendly. At least Musk leads by example. He destroyed his own marriage through overwork and expects his employees to do the same.

To be fair to Musk he was managing two pretty revolutionary businesses at once, both of which where going through very very tough times. This puts strain on any marriage and his broke. During this tough times. He still managed to hold it together. That's superhuman.

It's not like he was a mid level white collar exec staying too long at the office.

I think this is all Peter Thiel speaking highly of Elon to Trump
