Billy Bob Thornton addresses Donald Trump appointing Elon Musk in advisory roleBy Ellie Iorizzo, PA Los Angeles CorrespondentBilly Bob Thornton said his new drama series Landman, about billionaires fuelling an oil boom which reshapes geopolitics, should be watched with “no agenda” after US president-elect Donald Trump appointed Elon Musk in an advisory role. The Los Angeles premiere of the series at the Paramount Theatre came hours after Mr Trump announced Tesla and X owner Mr Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a newly created Department of Government Efficiency. Mr Trump confirmed in a statement that the department will not be a government agency, however Mr Musk and Mr Ramaswamy will work from outside the government to offer the White House “advice and guidance”. “I think people should watch it with no agenda, because we used to watch things with no agenda,” the 69-year-old told PA at the premiere. “This is such a dream, to be able to work with this extraordinary cast,” the 48-year-old continued.
