Sen. Warren: Trump needs to hold Musk to ethics standards
Dec 17, 2024
WASHINGTON >> U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has asked Donald Trump’s transition team to hold Elon Musk to the same ethics standards as other transition members, putting oversight of the unusually powerful presidential adviser in the spotlight. The billionaire CEO of Tesla and rocket company SpaceX, as well as the owner of social media platform X, has had an increasingly close relationship with Republican Trump since he endorsed him in July. Musk spent over a quarter billion dollars to help elect Trump, and also owns interests in cryptocurrency and other ventures.
