Musk urges public input on Treasury Secretary as Trump finalizes Cabinet picks

President-elect Donald Trump is actively selecting his Cabinet, with significant lobbying for key positions. Elon Musk has suggested that the public should have a say in choosing the Treasury Secretary, endorsing Howard Lutnick over Scott Bessent. Musk's proposal comes as Trump has already announced several Cabinet picks, including Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Lutnick is seen as a candidate who could bring change, while Bessent represents a more traditional choice. Trump has also appointed Will Scharf as assistant to the president and White House staff secretary. He continues to meet with Republican leaders and attend events, including a UFC fight in New York.
