Elon Musk has shown enthusiasm for Donald Trump’s proposal to enlist him and other business leaders to audit federal agencies. Musk commented, “I can’t wait” to tackle the “lot of waste and needless regulation in government.”
Trump considers Musk a “very smart guy” and “brilliant” individual, aligning with Musk’s reputation for streamlining operations. However, potential conflicts may arise regarding EV policies, which could impact Tesla.
