They also expect looser federal regulations on self-driving cars could boost Tesla&#39;s robo-taxi service, which is expected to launch later this year.</p><p>&#34;If he has to spend $250 million dollars of his own money to get regulatory treatment that is worth several billions to SpaceX and Tesla, that&#39;s a great return on your investment,&#34; Daniel Krcmaric, an associate professor of political science at Northwestern University, told Barron&#39;s.</p><p>As an advisor, Musk doesn&#39;t have to comply with the federal criminal conflict of interest statute, so he doesn&#39;t need to sell shares in his companies. A spokesman for Musk through Tesla didn&#39;t respond to a request for comment.</p><p>That billionaires and other wealthy folks -- including megadonors -- are filling the ranks of top government jobs in the U.S. is unsurprising to Krcmaric and other authors of a Northwestern University study titled &#34;Billionaire Politicians: A Global Perspective,&#34; published in June.</p><p>According to their research, 11.7% of about 2,000 billionaires tracked by Forbes &#34;held or sought&#34; political office through about the middle of 2023. That is particularly true in autocracies such as China and Russia where the rich are motivated to enter politics to protect their wealth, the authors said. The statistics back it up: 36.4% of Chinese billionaires and 21.3% of Russian billionaires held or sought political office through the summer of 2023.</p><p>In the U.S. and other democracies, the wealthy had typically achieved similar goals through big, anonymous donations. Only 3.7% of U.S. billionaires sought or held office in the period studied for the paper.</p><p>Krcmaric and his colleague Stephen Nelson, also an associate professor of political science at Northwestern, question whether the 2024 election -- and the participation of superwealthy individuals -- represents a change.</p><p>&#34;We don&#39;t have data right now to suggest out of the total pool of billionaires how many are currently serving in politics,&#34; Nelson told Barron&#39;s. But the composition of Trump&#39;s incoming team &#34;seems to be skewed more heavily toward ultrarich people, which suggests the U.S. is moving in a particular direction.&#34;</p><p>This shift raises a question: &#34;Do they know something that the rest of us don&#39;t know, which is that maybe the rule of law is weaker than we all think and that proximity to the Trump administration is the best way to protect one&#39;s wealth?&#34; Krcmaric said. &#34;That would be U.S. billionaires behaving in the same way that billionaires in autocracies typically behave...we can&#39;t make strong conclusions yet, but I would say, if you look at some cases, there seems to be an element of that going on.&#34;</p><p>Richard Painter, a professor of corporate law at the University of Minnesota who served as the chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush&#39;s administration from 2005-07, noted that billionaires often have had roles in previous U.S. administrations. The superwealthy don&#39;t take these jobs for the money, but for the opportunity to participate in government and take on a new challenge, Painter told Barron&#39;s.</p><p>&#34;They also get a tax benefit,&#34; he said. Although government officials must sell holdings that may pose a conflict of interest, they often don&#39;t have to pay capital-gains taxes on these ethics-related sales if they are issued a &#34;certificate of divestiture&#34; from the Office of Government Ethics and invest the proceeds from the sale in Treasuries or a government-approved diversified fund. Having to sell a concentrated, long-held investment can benefit someone who has been hesitant to diversify their holdings because of embedded capital gains, Painter said.</p><p>Howard Lutnick, who owns most of Cantor Fitzgerald -- a private enterprise that controls BGC Group, a public brokerage business; Newmark Group, a publicly traded commercial real estate broker, and Cantor, an investment firm with a fixed income and equities business -- said in a Nov. 21 statement that he will step down from his positions in all three companies and will sell his interests to comply with ethics rules. Lutnick added that he does &#34;not expect any arrangement which involves selling shares on the open market,&#34; which could affect share prices.</p><p>Wright, founder, CEO, and chairman of Denver-based Liberty Energy -- which provides components to support hydraulic fracking, among other services for the oil and gas industry -- will step down from his roles if confirmed as energy secretary, according to a company statement. A spokesperson for Liberty Energy didn&#39;t respond for a request for comment on Wright&#39;s plans for his company shares.</p><p>Whether the individuals selected for government roles have legal conflicts of interests with their jobs will be revealed when financial disclosure forms are filed and made available to the public. But even then, the extensive financial footprint of the richest nominees will make it challenging to learn all the potential conflicts that could touch the work they do and the sectors they oversee, Sherman said.</p><p>The roles that Wright, Bessent, Lutnick, and others may soon play also extends beyond legal conflict of interest questions to the appearance of a conflict.</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s certainly reasonable for the American public to question the appointment of someone who is heavily invested in one part of the energy sector, being appointed to a role where they are meant to oversee the entirety of the energy sector,&#34; Sherman says, speaking of Wright. It&#39;s as &#34;if your kid&#39;s school cafeteria is run by somebody who owns a candy shop.&#34;</p><p>There&#39;s also the broader, and again, nonlegal question, of how a government of superwealthy individuals serves a public that isn&#39;t nearly that rich. &#34;It&#39;s a lot of billionaires coming in to solve the problems of the working people,&#34; Painter said. &#34;We&#39;ll see how that works out.&#34;</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Trump's Team Is Stocked With Billionaires.

At least six others have a net worth of $150 million or more, according to calculations by Bloomberg, Forbes, and ABC News.For the cabinet, billionaire Howard Lutnick, CEO of investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, was nominated as commerce secretary; multimillionaire Scott Bessent, founder of the investment firm Key Square Capital Management, was nominated to lead Treasury; and Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright, with a net worth of about $170 million, according to Bloomberg, may head the energy department.If confirmed, these and other super wealthy people -- many without government experience or a working understanding of the departments they may oversee -- will hold considerable sway over public policy. In return, they, either individually or through their business interests, could potentially benefit from policies and regulations they oversee.One reason Trump is nominating rich people is to reward their loyalty -- Wright, for instance, is among vocal domestic oil-and-gas industry supporters -- but it's also because they can shake up the agencies they are about to lead.In a statement made after nominating North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to lead the interior department, Trump said the governor would chair a National Energy Council that would \"oversee the path to U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE by cutting red tape, enhancing private sector investments across all sectors of the Economy, and by focusing on INNOVATION over longstanding, but totally unnecessary, regulation.\"An issue with hiring billionaires and others with \"vast financial entanglements\" is ensuring they abide by federal conflict of interest statutes, according to Donald Sherman, executive director and chief counsel for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.\"That has a tangible impact on whether the government is prioritizing the interests of the American public -- everyday people who voted for, or didn't vote for, the president-elect -- versus the narrow financial interests of the individuals who are running these agencies,\" Sherman told Barron's.Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the transition of Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance, said that \"all nominees and appointees will comply with the ethical obligations of their respective agencies.\"The many hats worn by Musk, CEO of electric car maker  Tesla Motors, aerospace and defense company SpaceX, and owner of social-media platform X, among other enterprises, illustrate the potential conflicts.Through his companies, the tech billionaire -- who gave at least $250 million to Trump's re-election efforts through two super political action committees -- is involved in \" 20 recent investigations or reviews\" with government agencies, including the Justice Department, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board, the New York Times reported on Oct. 20.Investors, who have bid up Tesla's share price by about 60% since the day before the election, are expecting the company to benefit from lower corporate taxes or fewer regulations. They also expect looser federal regulations on self-driving cars could boost Tesla's robo-taxi service, which is expected to launch later this year.\"If he has to spend $250 million dollars of his own money to get regulatory treatment that is worth several billions to SpaceX and Tesla, that's a great return on your investment,\" Daniel Krcmaric, an associate professor of political science at Northwestern University, told Barron's.As an advisor, Musk doesn't have to comply with the federal criminal conflict of interest statute, so he doesn't need to sell shares in his companies. A spokesman for Musk through Tesla didn't respond to a request for comment.That billionaires and other wealthy folks -- including megadonors -- are filling the ranks of top government jobs in the U.S. is unsurprising to Krcmaric and other authors of a Northwestern University study titled \"Billionaire Politicians: A Global Perspective,\" published in June.According to their research, 11.7% of about 2,000 billionaires tracked by Forbes \"held or sought\" political office through about the middle of 2023. That is particularly true in autocracies such as China and Russia where the rich are motivated to enter politics to protect their wealth, the authors said. The statistics back it up: 36.4% of Chinese billionaires and 21.3% of Russian billionaires held or sought political office through the summer of 2023.In the U.S. and other democracies, the wealthy had typically achieved similar goals through big, anonymous donations. Only 3.7% of U.S. billionaires sought or held office in the period studied for the paper.Krcmaric and his colleague Stephen Nelson, also an associate professor of political science at Northwestern, question whether the 2024 election -- and the participation of superwealthy individuals -- represents a change.\"We don't have data right now to suggest out of the total pool of billionaires how many are currently serving in politics,\" Nelson told Barron's. But the composition of Trump's incoming team \"seems to be skewed more heavily toward ultrarich people, which suggests the U.S. is moving in a particular direction.\"This shift raises a question: \"Do they know something that the rest of us don't know, which is that maybe the rule of law is weaker than we all think and that proximity to the Trump administration is the best way to protect one's wealth?\" Krcmaric said. \"That would be U.S. billionaires behaving in the same way that billionaires in autocracies typically behave...we can't make strong conclusions yet, but I would say, if you look at some cases, there seems to be an element of that going on.\"Richard Painter, a professor of corporate law at the University of Minnesota who served as the chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush's administration from 2005-07, noted that billionaires often have had roles in previous U.S. administrations. The superwealthy don't take these jobs for the money, but for the opportunity to participate in government and take on a new challenge, Painter told Barron's.\"They also get a tax benefit,\" he said. Although government officials must sell holdings that may pose a conflict of interest, they often don't have to pay capital-gains taxes on these ethics-related sales if they are issued a \"certificate of divestiture\" from the Office of Government Ethics and invest the proceeds from the sale in Treasuries or a government-approved diversified fund. Having to sell a concentrated, long-held investment can benefit someone who has been hesitant to diversify their holdings because of embedded capital gains, Painter said.Howard Lutnick, who owns most of Cantor Fitzgerald -- a private enterprise that controls BGC Group, a public brokerage business; Newmark Group, a publicly traded commercial real estate broker, and Cantor, an investment firm with a fixed income and equities business -- said in a Nov. 21 statement that he will step down from his positions in all three companies and will sell his interests to comply with ethics rules. Lutnick added that he does \"not expect any arrangement which involves selling shares on the open market,\" which could affect share prices.Wright, founder, CEO, and chairman of Denver-based Liberty Energy -- which provides components to support hydraulic fracking, among other services for the oil and gas industry -- will step down from his roles if confirmed as energy secretary, according to a company statement. A spokesperson for Liberty Energy didn't respond for a request for comment on Wright's plans for his company shares.Whether the individuals selected for government roles have legal conflicts of interests with their jobs will be revealed when financial disclosure forms are filed and made available to the public. But even then, the extensive financial footprint of the richest nominees will make it challenging to learn all the potential conflicts that could touch the work they do and the sectors they oversee, Sherman said.The roles that Wright, Bessent, Lutnick, and others may soon play also extends beyond legal conflict of interest questions to the appearance of a conflict.\"It's certainly reasonable for the American public to question the appointment of someone who is heavily invested in one part of the energy sector, being appointed to a role where they are meant to oversee the entirety of the energy sector,\" Sherman says, speaking of Wright. It's as \"if your kid's school cafeteria is run by somebody who owns a candy shop.\"There's also the broader, and again, nonlegal question, of how a government of superwealthy individuals serves a public that isn't nearly that rich. \"It's a lot of billionaires coming in to solve the problems of the working people,\" Painter said. \"We'll see how that works out.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"following","isTTM":true}
