But...but daddy Trump says Elon can totally be trusted to remove himself from any conflicts of interest!
>When questioned about potential conflicts between Musk’s private business interests and his government work, Trump said: "He won’t be involved."
>Musk echoed the sentiment, saying “I’ll recuse myself."
>Trump added that “if there's a conflict, he won't be involved. I mean, I wouldn't want that, and he won't want it."
They've certainly recused themselves from a conflict of intelligence and/or common decency.
Someone noted that determining if something is a conflict of interest for you is in itself a conflict of interest.
Yes, exactly. By definition, you cannot police your own conflicts of interest.
