Summary
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged Fox News viewers to buy Tesla stock, praising Elon Musk as “the best person to bet on.”
Speaking on Jesse Watters Primetime, Lutnick defended Musk amid vandalism protests linked to Musk’s support for far-right politics and federal budget cuts.
He claimed Musk’s innovations, including robots and space technology, make Tesla stock undervalued.
Lutnick’s comments sparked criticism over potential legal and ethical conflicts, as government officials promoting individual stocks may violate ethics regulations.
It’s not even his inventions. Like a modern day Edison, he just takes credit for other people’s work.
Musk is a great guy!
Just look at all the businesses he’s bought from founders, taken all the credit, and ran into the ground!
