Elon Musk is set to file a confidential financial disclosure with the White House as he serves as an unpaid special government employee for President Trump. This unprecedented arrangement raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest since Musk leads companies in high-stakes sectors like electric vehicles and space exploration. While he is required to undergo ethics training, the White House has not yet provided clarity regarding any necessary ethics waivers related to Musk's extensive federal contracts and active regulatory investigations involving his business dealings.
Mr. Musk is serving President Trump as an unpaid special government employee, which means his financial disclosure is not required to be made public.
Special government employees like Mr. Musk are prohibited under federal criminal law from taking actions that directly benefit themselves or their families, unless they have an ethics waiver.
