Elon Musk suggests public input for Treasury Secretary as Trump finalizes Cabinet picks

As President-elect Donald Trump selects his Cabinet, Elon Musk has suggested that the public should have a say in choosing the Treasury Secretary. Musk endorsed Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, over Scott Bessent, calling for change in financial leadership. Musk's proposal comes as Trump has already announced several Cabinet picks, including Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. The Treasury position remains unfilled, with Lutnick and Bessent as leading candidates, reflecting differing views on cryptocurrency. Trump has been active at his Mar-a-Lago estate, meeting with Republican leaders and attending events. He is also set to attend a UFC championship fight in New York, continuing his long-standing connection to the sport.
