American businessman Ilon Musk, who currently heads the US Government Efficiency Department (Doge), is not obliged to file a public financial declaration. Instead, it will submit a confidential report that will meet internal standards. This was reported in the White House, emphasizing that Musk, as an unpaid special civil servant, does not fall under the request of public disclosure of his financial information.
Musk, whose companies have government contracts for billions of dollars, is currently engaged in the dismantling of components of the federal government within its activities in Doge. Although the governing principles of ethics do not require public disclosure of financial information, there are questions about possible conflicts of interests arising from its numerous businesses and state contracts.
The White House Representative noted that Musk, as a civil servant, would report in accordance with the established norms, but it will be a confidential document, not a public declaration.
This decision causes some discussions among political observers, which indicate the importance of transparency in connection with the huge financial interests of the mask, its business relations and broad influence on government contracts.
