Elon Musk Faces Conflict of Interest Concerns After Senator’s Letter on Suspected Tesla Deal

Elon Musk might be landing a $400 million government contract for Tesla Cybertrucks, but not everyone is convinced it’s just business as usual.

Senator Richard Blumenthal is demanding answers, questioning whether Musk’s deep ties to both private industry and government contracts create a serious conflict of interest.

In a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Blumenthal calls for transparency, pointing to Musk’s growing influence and raising concerns about potential favoritism in government spending.

The senator also highlights Cybertruck’s troubled track record, with multiple recalls since its release, asking why the government would choose Tesla over GM Defense, which already holds a $300 million armored vehicle contract.

Amid Tesla’s recent stock struggles and declining sales, some speculate that this deal could help boost the company’s reputation and demand for the Cybertruck, similar to how SpaceX leveraged NASA contracts to elevate its status.

Blumenthal’s letter arrives as Musk, who was appointed by Trump as Head of the Department of Government Efficiency, continues to expand his political influence under the 47th president.
