As for Musk in the cabinet, I’m intrigued but cautious. While he’s proven in the private sector, government is a different challenge. His innovative mindset could help, but I’m unsure how his style would translate to federal management.
Regarding Powell, Trump can’t simply fire him. Powell is protected by law, and while Trump could nominate a new chair in 2026, he can’t remove him early.
Overall, Powell is doing well, and while Musk might bring fresh ideas, I’m cautious about the potential challenges.
