Fox News Host Scorches Elon Musk For Lack Of Transparency: 'Open Up Your Own Books'

Jessica Tarlov noted that the world's richest man is cutting public spending while having billions in federal contracts and a litany of potential conflicts of interest.
Fox News host Jessica Tarlov is noting a curious lack of transparency and the potential conflicts of interest regarding Elon Musk, who is cutting untold public spending with his Department of Government Efficiency — while having billions in federal contracts himself.
The world’s richest man notably spent a quarter-billion dollars to help reelect President Donald Trump, only to become a “special government employee” and the head of a new advisory group that is dismantling federal agencies and rooting out purported corruption.
Musk owns aerospace company SpaceX and electric vehicle company Tesla, however, which reportedly received billions in taxpayer subsidies and were being investigated by the same agencies Musk has been targeting — which Tarlov bluntly noted Wednesday on air.
“But the real issue here is that he’s talking a big game about transparency, but he’s not being transparent himself,” she said on Fox News. “This idea that Elon Musk shouldn’t have to do financial disclosures like everybody else who’s working in government is ludicrous.”
“And President Trump said yesterday, ‘Oh well, he doesn’t need to do it,’” Tarlov continued.
