8. Yet another reason

Yet another reason why business people should keep their noses out of government. Too many potential conflicts of interest, in both directions. Someone who is an active CEO really should not be in government. If they want to be in government, they should step down from their business position and put their business interests into a trust. Good luck getting anything like that from Musk. He has no concept of the law, democracy, or how government should operate. He is frankly an idiot, and if I was a stockholder in Tesla, I would want him out.
