[quote=Anonymous]For MAGA that haven't connected the dots yet:

1. Musk's companies do millions in business with the federal government.

His rocket company, SpaceX, effectively dictates NASA’s rocket launch schedule. The Defense Department relies on him to get most of its satellites to orbit. His companies were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies.

2. Musk's companies have been investigated by the federal government.

His entanglements with federal regulators are also numerous and adversarial. His companies have been targeted in at least 20 recent investigations or reviews, including over the safety of his Tesla cars and the environmental damage caused by his rockets.

3. Trump has promised to make Musk head of a new “government efficiency commission” with the power to recommend cuts at federal agencies and changes to federal rules.

[b]That would essentially give the world’s richest man and a major government contractor the power to regulate the regulators who hold sway over his companies, amounting to a potentially enormous conflict of interest.[/b]
