11 Dec 2024 | Abstracted from The Hill

"One hundred years ago, a massive scandal over energy issues exposed the corrupt presidency of Warren G. Harding, discrediting his Republican administration...A similar but potentially even more profound energy scandal is now unfolding under the President-elect...Elon Musk, the world's richest man, got that way in part due to federal government help...the richest man in the world, who helped bankroll Trump's presidential campaign and who benefits from billions of dollars in federal contracts for SpaceX, is using that influence to undercut U.S. competitiveness in the key emerging manufacturing sector of electric vehicles."
