What ethical concerns were raised about Elon Musk's meeting with Prime Minister Modi?
Norm Ornstein, a congressional historian, highlighted significant ethical concerns about Elon Musk's meeting with Prime Minister Modi. The key issue was the ambiguity of Musk's role - whether he was acting as an American CEO pursuing business interests in India or representing the U.S. government in an official capacity. Trump's apparent indifference to this distinction exemplifies what Ornstein calls 'the lack of ethics' in governance. The situation demonstrates problematic blending of private business interests with quasi-governmental roles, with Ornstein noting it's 'all about the grift' - allowing powerful individuals to potentially use political relationships to advance personal financial interests.
