• advisors should not have

    From Matthew Munson@VERT/IUTOPIA to All on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 21:37:00
    Advisors to the president of any nation should not have sizable control
    of an active company over a certain amount of money. That is one way to
    limit conflicts of interest.

    Politicians shouldn't be able to take money from pharm companies.
    they shouldn't be able to buy and trade stocks.

    that's the big problem in my opinion.

    So you think it isn't good that Trump was shilling for Tesla yesterday at
    the White House? ;)

    No, but apparently Trump and Elon do.

    It doesn't matter whether or not the action causes the outcome they desire, what matters is that government officials are not supposed to use their
    office to advertise or endorse a product. It is prohibited to prevent conflicts of interest and misuse of position.

    While they have been very careful not to call Elon a government
    employee, which they think keeps him free of such restrictions, the
    President is indeed a government official.

    it's no different than other president's activities being documented. clinton loved mcdonalds. had to stop there every jog. joe biden loved to show off his cars and talk about how his family loves certain cars.

    get your panties out of their bunch.
