Musk won’t be involved in conflicts of interest, says Trump
President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk have responded to allegations of conflicts of interest.
In a joint interview with Fox News, Trump commended Musk for his work on federal agency audits, cost-cutting initiatives, and efforts to reduce waste.
Trump appointed Musk to the Department of Government Efficiency with the stated aim of eliminating wasteful spending.
Since then, Musk has laid off over 9,500 federal employees.
Trump praised what he called Musk’s innovative thinking and ability to attract high-IQ talent, which he said has contributed to the success.
When questioned about potential conflicts between Musk’s private business interests and his government work, Trump said: “He won’t be involved, if there is a conflict.”
Musk said that he has never asked the president for anything and would step back from any situation where a conflict of interest may arise.
