Musk encourages Trump to seek public input on Treasury secretary choice
President-elect Donald Trump attended the UFC heavyweight championship in New York, marking a return to a city he knows well. This event follows his announcement of Chris Wright as his choice for energy secretary. Elon Musk suggested that Trump seek public input on his Treasury secretary selection. Musk endorsed Howard Lutnick over Scott Bessent, emphasizing the need for change in economic leadership. Trump has made several cabinet appointments recently, including Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. He has yet to announce his Treasury pick and other key positions, while also appointing Will Scharf as assistant to the president.
