What did President Trump say about potential conflicts of interest between Elon Musk's businesses and his government role?

President Trump stated he was unaware of any conflicts of interest between Elon Musk's business interests (including Tesla and SpaceX) and his government role. This came after a judge declined to block Musk's Department of Government Efficiency operations. Court filings clarified that Musk serves as a non-career special government employee and senior advisor to the President, despite White House claims that Musk holds no formal decision-making authority. Trump and Musk have pledged to substantially reduce government spending, aiming to cut up to one trillion dollars from the deficit.
