According to the US "Capitol Hill" report, American billionaire Musk posted a message on social platforms on December 6, local time, suggesting that he would not use his growing influence in the Trump administration to harm or retaliate against industry competitors. "Capitol Hill" reported that Altman, CEO of the U.S. artificial intelligence company OpenAI Research Center (OpenAI), and Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, both said this week that they believed Musk would not abuse his relationship with U.S. President-elect Trump to strengthen his competitive position.


Musk responded to this when forwarding a relevant post on his social platform X on the 6th: "They are right."

The report mentioned that there are concerns that as Musk's relationship with Trump becomes closer, his influence in Trump's team gradually increases, which may lead to intimidation of his opponents.


According to reports, Musk has repeatedly clashed with OpenAI and Altman. Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI at the end of last month, applying for a "preliminary injunction" in the federal court to prevent OpenAI's "illegal" transformation into a for-profit enterprise. Altman said at the New York Times DealBook Summit on December 4 that he was "very sad" about the tension between the two, but he denied that Musk would use his alliance with Trump to suppress OpenAI. "I firmly believe that Elon will do the right thing." Bezos expressed similar sentiments about Musk.


According to documents released by the U.S. Federal Election Commission on the evening of December 5, Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, donated $259 million to groups supporting Trump’s 2024 campaign, becoming one of the largest presidential campaign sponsors in U.S. history.

On November 12, local time, US President-elect Trump announced that Musk and Ramaswamy will jointly lead the proposed "Government Efficiency Department" after he takes office as president. Trump said the Department of Government Efficiency would "pave the way to dismantle government bureaucracy, cut redundant regulations and wasteful spending, and reorganize federal agencies."
