Summary: Senator Elizabeth Warren has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest surrounding Elon Musk's role as an adviser to President-elect Donald Trump's transition team. Warren points out that existing rules mandate transition team members to avoid conflicts of interest but it is unclear whether Musk is subject to these standards. She argues that Musk's close relationship with Trump and his involvement in government policies and spending priorities could potentially enrich his companies. Warren calls for transparency and a robust conflict-of-interest agreement. Trump's transition team dismisses the concerns as political theater.
