would elon's government contracts be a conflict of interest and become void if he is running a government committee? seems like an open door for him to self deal for even more increased wealth through our Government

[@curtvaughan2836]

He's already done that. After donating over $250 million to Trump's election campaign, his wealth has increased by 77% since Trump's election. It also gained him access to Trump as a primary advisor, and is co-head of Trump's as yet congressionally unapproved Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.). Musk has now amassed around $400 billion in net worth. For perspective on that, when Bill Gates, original founder / CEO of Microsoft, became the wealthiest person in the world in the mid-'90s, he was worth around $60 billion. The 500 wealthiest individuals in the world now account for $10 trillion - these are the kinds of people who Trump thinks need tax cuts, the primary reason he and Musk wanted congress to raise the federal debt ceiling under Biden's watch. They may still get that done, but now there will be no blaming of Democrats for the fallout. The MAGA GOP will own this.
