Elon Musk has openly responded to Senator Elizabeth Warren's criticisms regarding the potential conflict of interest related to his new role in President-elect Donald Trump's administration.

In a post on platform X, Musk hinted that Warren's criticisms were influenced by the parents of Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of the FTX exchange.

"The parents of SBF shaped Warren's criticisms," Musk posted, along with the use of the nickname "Pocahontas" – a term that Trump's team had previously used to refer to Senator Warren.

This comment came after Warren sent a letter to Trump's transition team, expressing concerns about the potential conflict of interest as Musk takes on the role of co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In this role, Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy are tasked with cutting $2 trillion in federal spending.

Warren emphasized that with Musk's new position, there could be a risk of conflict of interest between personal business activities and political influence, while calling for strict regulations to prevent corruption. She stated:

"Putting Musk in a position that could affect billions of dollars in government contracts and regulatory enforcement without a stringent conflict of interest agreement is an invitation to corruption on an unprecedented scale in our lifetime."

Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump, countered Warren's concerns, praising Musk's contributions and criticizing the senator. Leavitt described Warren as a 'politician with social influence only 1/1024 compared to Elon Musk' and assured that Trump's transition team adheres to the highest ethical standards.

Warren's concerns arise in the context of Musk's increasing political influence. This includes his $250 million contribution to Trump's reelection campaign, a move deemed significant in battleground states like Pennsylvania.

Warren has previously criticized Musk strongly regarding his leadership role at Tesla, particularly concerning the Delaware court ruling on his $56 billion compensation package. This ruling raised concerns about the independence of Tesla's board, reinforcing Warren's argument about the risk of conflict of interest.
