President Donald Trump, in a recent joint interview with Elon Musk on Fox News, addressed the potential conflict of interest that could arise from Musk's involvement in the administration and his business ventures. Trump emphasized that if such a conflict were to occur, measures would be taken to prevent Musk from engaging in any related activities.
During the interview, Trump cited the example of efforts to eliminate tax credits for electric vehicle purchases, a move that could impact Tesla, of which Musk is the CEO. Musk himself had previously acknowledged that removing subsidies could potentially benefit Tesla.
