What is the concern regarding Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration?
The concern is that the White House is trying to have it both ways with Elon Musk, claiming he's not in charge while also designating him as a special government employee. As Meghan Hayes explains from her experience in two administrations, special government employees have the same access as regular employees, raising questions about Musk's level of access and influence. This creates potential conflicts of interest as the president grants significant power to Musk. Hayes warns that Republicans may face political consequences downstream due to this arrangement, as the public should be concerned about how much authority and information Musk is receiving in his ambiguous role within the administration.
