“The guy’s worth $450 billion as of today. So I don’t think he’s doing it for the money. He’s doing it for the bigger project and the bigger vision of America. He doesn’t need the dollars. He really doesn’t. So it’s not about, ‘If I get involved in this, I’ll get another little contract here or there.’ That’s nothing to him. So I like the fact that he – in a way, he’s so rich – he’s so removed from the potential financial influence of it.” – GOP New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, pretending that Musk’s companies haven’t each taken billions in federal subsidies.
Where is the precedent for exempting the super rich from conflict of interest laws or standards in government or in business? Robber Baron era? https://t.co/08nhzB4v3u

I couldn’t go through life saying things I didn’t believe. Sure, I’d make more money if I did, and I’d get reelected to office if I did, but I’d be miserable. @ChrisSununu has spent the past few years saying stuff about Trump he doesn’t believe, and now he’s doing the same thing… https://t.co/ZvgmQRZ3yw

Republican NH Governor Chris Sununu claims that Elon Musk is too rich to have any conflict of interest between his businesses and his influence on the incoming Trump administration.

I can’t tell if @ChrisSununu is a bigger bootlicker or partisan hack, but either way, this is embarrassing. https://t.co/L6cNveMoTv

Of all the smug, self-serving, disingenuous, lying politicians out there, Chris Sununu is one of the worst. https://t.co/dbBOYIvQBT
