“Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire who has become President-elect Donald Trump’s ‘first buddy,’ appeared to publicly pressure Trump on economic policy and a key Cabinet appointment Saturday,” the Washington Post reports. “In a Saturday morning post on X, the social network he owns and runs, Musk praised a foreign leader’s decision to cut tariffs — the same import taxes that Trump wants to raise to the highest level in a century.” “Several hours later, Musk posted that Howard Lutnick, Trump’s co-transition chair, would be a better choice than hedge fund executive Scott Bessent for treasury secretary.” Wall Street Journal: Messy fight for Trump’s Treasury chief spills into public.
