“Do I think Elon Musk is a conflict of interest in this administration? I do think it’s a conflict of interest. He owns a lot of businesses and entities that provide favor for him being in this administration. I think he has the ability to pay himself, which is a conflict of interest, I really believe this. I don’t know if he has blinders on, but I really believe that him being in this administration hits different.”
“Elon Musk being in the US government as an unelected official should not be there. It is a conflict of interest because he is using our tax dollars to make his company and himself even richer, without our approval and without being elected. It is a conflict all the way around. Get out! Go back to where you came from.”
“Yes, it is definitely a conflict of interest because he and the president have had a relationship for a long time, so the current president does not bring an objective mindset when it comes to Musk. We don’t know what type of financial support that they’ve given each other over the years, so obviously these people are going to help each financially and at the end of the day, people of color, people who are not from this country are facing deportations, lose of jobs, its just a “good ol boys” network, so definitely I think it’s a conflict of interest.”
“This is definitely a conflict of interest, and what is sad is they know this. Musk receives millions, if not billions of dollars in subsidies from the US government for his various businesses, and to have placed himself at the helm alongside a sitting president, where the national budget decisions are made and he can possibly benefit from those decisions, he is a conflict of interest.
“I don’t know enough of the rules to say or base my opinion on the facts to if it is fair for him to be hanging around the office. What I can say is that we are seeing a bunch of funny stuff. For example, he tweets about the 14 flags, and we know that the 14 flags represent a racist organization. It makes me feel uneasy that he is in this position. I don’t know if it is fair, but it definitely makes me uneasy that he does not have my best interest or my ethnicity’s best interest in mind.”
“Yes, I do think Elon Musk’s position in the Trump administration is a conflict of interest, but at the same time, while all of the bad things that are going on in the Trump administration, I like to think that not everything they are doing is bad.”
