Axios reports:
It’s not hyperbole to call this a government of billionaires. Whether it acts as a government for billionaires — as Democrats argue is inevitable — could test and potentially tarnish Trump’s populist legacy. Besides Trump, Musk and Ramaswamy, at least 11 billionaires will be serving key roles. They’ve been picked to lead the departments of Treasury (Scott Bessent), Commerce (Howard Lutnick), Education (Linda McMahon), Interior (Doug Burgum), the SBA (Kelly Loeffler) and NASA (Jared Isaacman).
On Thursday night, Trump announced that tech investor David Sacks, an early executive at PayPal and top Musk ally, would serve as White House AI and crypto czar. Financier Stephen Feinberg has been nominated for the No. 2 position at the Pentagon; Trump family in-laws Charles Kushner (ambassador to France) and Massad Boulos (Middle East adviser) were tapped for diplomatic roles alongside billionaire donor Warren Stephens (ambassador to the U.K.).
Read the full article. Besides the billionaires listed above, Trump has nominated several others, such as Mehmet Oz, who are merely worth hundreds of millions.
Trump’s “government of billionaires” is set to rival the GDP of entire countries. With Vivek Ramaswamy and 12 other billionaires in key roles, this administration looks more like a CEO boardroom than a Cabinet. Whose interests will they serve?https://t.co/gEChDodl7n pic.twitter.com/BTHmYz9ffd
