“Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, is raising alarms about the influence that billionaire Elon Musk is wielding inside the Trump administration and across federal agencies,” Politico reports.
Said Collins: “There’s no doubt that the president appears to have empowered Elon Musk far beyond what I think is appropriate.
I think a lot of it is going to end up in court.”She added: “I am concerned if the Trump administration is clawing back money that has been specifically appropriated for a particular purpose.”
