Musk and RFK push for Lutnick as Treasury Secretary while Bass backs Bessent
Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are advocating for Howard Lutnick as the next Treasury Secretary, highlighting his support for Bitcoin. In contrast, investor Kyle Bass backs Scott Bessent, calling him more qualified for the role. Tensions are rising within Trump's team as they consider alternatives, including Robert Lighthizer and Senator William Hagerty. Lutnick's previous donations to Democratic candidates have raised questions about his alignment with Trump. Trump has not publicly stated his preference for the Treasury position, leaving the decision open amid ongoing discussions.
