Elon Musk endorses Howard Lutnick for Treasury Secretary in Trump administration

Elon Musk is publicly supporting Howard Lutnick for Treasury Secretary in Donald Trump's upcoming administration. Musk believes Lutnick would bring necessary change, contrasting with Scott Bessent, who he views as a traditional choice. Lutnick, currently chair of Trump's transition team, has significant business experience and supports Bitcoin. Bessent, backed by Steve Bannon, has ties to George Soros, which may hinder his chances among some Republican voters. Trump's Cabinet nominations have faced skepticism, particularly regarding controversial picks like Matt Gaetz for attorney general. Some GOP senators express concern about the political risks associated with these nominations.
