Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual globally, is not obligated to file a public financial disclosure, as confirmed by the White House. Despite Musk's companies holding substantial government contracts, he is currently involved in streamlining various aspects of the federal government through the Department of Government Efficiency initiative.
A White House official stated, 'As an unpaid special government employee who is not a commission officer, he will file a confidential financial disclosure report as per the standard procedure.' While ethics guidelines do not mandate Musk to submit a public disclosure, concerns persist regarding his numerous potential conflicts of interest.
The initial report by Source revealed that Musk underwent ethics training this week, as mentioned by a White House official. This development comes amidst Musk's significant involvement in government initiatives and his unparalleled success in the business world.
