Golden Finance reports that LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman warned in the Financial Times that Elon Musk serving as an advisor during Trump's second term could lead to conflicts of interest in AI policy. Hoffman pointed out that Musk, as the founder of xAI, may use his role to influence policy in favor of xAI, securing government contracts or limiting competition. He emphasized that this would harm U.S. technological innovation and economic security. Additionally, Hoffman urged the Trump administration to abandon isolationism and adopt multilateral cooperation to promote AI development. Musk has not commented on this but criticized LinkedIn users as 'unbearably awkward.'
