Elon Musk, All-Powerful and Serving his Interests
Contrary to what the world's richest man claims, Musk's government mission is shrouded in opacity, and in less than one month since he began work with DOGE, Musk's companies already appear to be benefiting from it.
Translated from Google Translate:
"What worries me most is the precedent that's being set," Ann Skeet, senior director, leadership ethics, told Mediapart. "Elon Musk runs his companies while serving the government, which leads to inherent conflicts of interest. His declaration of interests remains confidential. He began his work, in areas from which he could directly benefit, without receiving a waiver, a required procedure. Once one standard is lowered, it leads to the weakening of other standards, other norms and laws that have long served the American people."
Ann Skeet, senior director, leadership ethics, quoted by Mediapart. (paywall)
