New reporting claims President-elect Donald Trump is paving the way for broader deployment of autonomous vehicles on America’s roadways, a development that could benefit his fellow billionaire, campaign buddy, and now top bureaucrat, Elon Musk.

Some commentators have noted that various ethics laws could limit Musk’s ability to lead DOGE, due to the large number of conflicts of interests posed by his businesses and their relationship with the federal government.
