Of course, Musk would endorse another Wall Street insider like Lutnick for Treasury Secretary. This is just more proof that Trump's administration is all about catering to the 1% and corporate elites. We need someone looking out for working families, not another billionaire looking to protect his own interests.
Well, it's about time someone like Musk is pushing for real change in the Treasury. Maybe Lutnick could shake up the cronyism and get the government to back off interfering with the free market so much.
