Elon's "call out conflicts" plan doesn't seem very solid

Elon Musk's kid to President Trump, "I want you to shush your mouth"

A Letter from WIRED's Editor @katie-drummond.bsky.social: Ever since Elon Musk backed Trump’s presidential bid last year, we've been tracking his growing influence in politics. We’ve talked to people within federal agencies and experts in cybersecurity, AI, and medicine about his potential impact.
