How will President Trump and Elon Musk address potential conflicts of interest with Musk's companies that do business with the US government?

President Trump stated that if conflicts of interest arise involving Musk's companies (X, Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, or Neuralink), he will recuse himself from related decisions. Similarly, Musk confirmed he will rescue himself if any conflicts emerge with his businesses that could benefit from favorable government rules. Musk noted he is under intense daily scrutiny regarding these potential conflicts. This approach addresses concerns about Musk's dual role as both a government advisor and the head of multiple companies that contract with the federal government, establishing clear boundaries to maintain ethical governance.
