Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi will also join the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum.

The transition team's announcement comes in advance of Trump’s Wednesday meeting with top tech leaders, including Musk, at Trump Tower.

Other key tech players expected to be at the meeting include Facebook’s Cheryl Sandberg, Google parent company Alphabet’s Eric Schmidt and Larry Page, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. A representative from Uber will not be in attendance.
