The MSNBC host accused the billionaire of “not even pretending.”

Ari Melber is taking Elon Musk to task for what the lawyer and journalist calls a gigantic conflict of interest.

Melber argued Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Musk is using his access to President Donald Trump “to line his own pockets,” as the new Department of Government Efficiency that Musk is heading is curiously nicknamed DOGE — after a cryptocurrency Musk owns.
