Musk urges Trump to seek public input on Treasury Secretary choice

Billionaire Elon Musk has suggested that President-elect Donald Trump allow the public to weigh in on his choice for Treasury Secretary. Musk endorsed Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, over Scott Bessent, calling for change in leadership. Trump is actively selecting his Cabinet, having already announced key positions, including Secretary of State and Attorney General. He still needs to fill important roles, including Treasury, Education, and Labor. Musk's comments come as Trump meets with Republican leaders at his Mar-a-Lago club. Trump has been spending time in Florida since his election victory, attending various events and maintaining connections with prominent figures in the Republican Party.
