Senator Elizabeth Warren has challenged Donald Trump to establish ethics rules for his administration, citing a “massive conflict of interest” due to Elon Musk’s unofficial role in the president-elect’s transition and incoming administration. As the world’s richest man, Musk owns several companies with major US government contracts and has taken an active part in the transition, including joining calls with foreign leaders and attending events with Trump. Despite being a key financial backer of Trump’s campaign, Musk’s informal advisory role is not covered by federal employee ethics rules.
