Donald Trump is seeking help from the real-life Iron Man.
Elon Musk, who has drawn comparison to the fictional superhero, joined the president-elect’s advisory council on Wednesday, along with Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and Indra Nooyi, the CEO of Pepsi.
Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum, which includes boldfaced names from industries ranging from movies to banking to airplanes, was formed earlier this month with the goal of providing counsel during Trump's presidency and to “make it attractive for firms to create new jobs,” according to a press release from Trump’s transition team.
The announcement came the same day as Trump's private meeting with tech titans — including Musk — at Trump Tower.
Musk, who is already busy pulling double duty at SpaceX and Tesla, is a surprising addition to Trump's team, given his sharp criticism of Trump days before the election.
"I feel a bit stronger that he [Trump] is not the right guy," Musk told CNBC. "He doesn't seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States."
Musk also said Hillary Clinton's economic and environmental policies were "the right ones."
