Elizabeth Warren Challenges Trump Over Elon Musk's Role in Administration

The senator raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest as Musk assumes a key advisory role in Trump's transition team.

Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump questioning the ethics standards governing Elon Musk's advisory role in the Trump administration.
Musk, co-leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), oversees companies like Tesla and SpaceX, which have significant government contracts and regulatory interests.
Warren described Musk's dual role as an adviser and a business leader as a 'massive conflict of interest' and called for clear and enforceable ethics rules.
Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt dismissed Warren's concerns, using the derogatory nickname 'Pocahontas' to criticize her letter.
Musk responded to Warren's critiques by mocking her on social media, sharing AI-generated images referencing her past claims of Native American ancestry.
