Elizabeth Warren Urges Trump to Implement Conflict-of-Interest Rules for Elon Musk in DOGE Role
Dec 17, 2024, 07:32 PM
Senator Elizabeth Warren has urged President-elect Donald Trump to implement stringent conflict-of-interest rules for Elon Musk, who has been appointed as a top adviser and co-chair of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Warren's letter, made public on Tuesday, emphasizes the potential for corruption due to Musk's significant private interests, which she argues conflict with his advisory role. She specifically questions whether Musk will recuse himself from matters affecting his companies, such as Tesla and SpaceX, which have substantial government contracts. The Trump transition team, through spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, responded by dismissing Warren's concerns, referring to her as 'Pocahontas' and asserting that the transition team adheres to the highest ethical standards. This exchange highlights ongoing tensions regarding the ethical oversight of influential figures in the incoming administration.
