Warren Writes Letter to Trump — His Team Calls Her ‘Pocahontas’ in Response

Sen. 👤Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wants to address any conflicts of interest billionaire 👤Elon Musk may have in his role in President-elect 👤Donald Trump’s administration before things get out of hand.

That’s why she penned a letter to Trump to set rules which would clearly define any conflicts of interest that may materialize, The Washington Post reported.

“Putting Mr. Musk in a position to influence billions of dollars of government contracts and regulatory enforcement without a stringent conflict of interest agreement in place is an invitation for corruption on a scale not seen in our lifetimes,” Warren wrote. “As your Transition Team Ethics Plan makes clear, the role of government is not to line the pockets of the wealthiest Americans; a strong, enforceable ethics plan for the world’s richest man is a necessary first step for delivering on that promise.”

Rules published by the General Services Administration forbid a member of the transition team from working “on particular matters involving specific parties that affect” their interests

Musk, who is worth $474 billion, per the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, has a vested interest in a successful Trump presidency.

He has earned the title “first buddy” after spending more than $250 million in Trump’s campaign.
