The White House Press Secretary has clarified that Elon Musk will decide when there’s a conflict of interest regarding his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
This statement comes as Musk has been granted unprecedented access to federal systems in his capacity to streamline government operations.
Critics argue that self-regulation could lead to conflicts where Musk’s business interests might overlap with government decisions.
Supporters believe this trust in Musk reflects confidence in his integrity to step aside from decisions where conflicts might arise.
Musk’s involvement in DOGE includes overseeing contracts and funding where his companies like SpaceX and Tesla might have stakes.
Public reactions vary with some expressing concern over the concentration of power and potential for bias.
Others see it as an innovative approach allowing for swift action in government efficiency with checks presumably in place.
Commentary often calls for clear guidelines or an independent body to oversee such decisions to ensure impartiality in government operations.
