'We haven't seen anything quite like Musk.' Here's what's behind his government blitz.

^{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. k-here-s-what-s-behind-his-government-blitz.html}
^{Published on Monday, February 10th 2025 at 5:41 GMT by MSN}

Musk is igniting a fierce debate with a spree of moves at federal agencies. He has emerged as a central figure in Trump's presidency.

Elon Musk has been actively engaging with government officials and agencies in what has been described as a "government blitz." This surge in interactions includes meetings with key figures like House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and even a visit to the White House to discuss electric vehicles with President Biden's team. Musk's activities are driven by several factors: Tesla's need for regulatory support to expand its manufacturing, particularly in the U.S. with plans for a new factory in Mexico; SpaceX's reliance on government contracts for space missions; and his new venture, Neuralink, which requires navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Additionally, Musk's companies are seeking federal subsidies and tax incentives, especially in light of the Inflation Reduction Act, which offers significant benefits for electric vehicle production. His engagement also comes at a time when there's increasing scrutiny on his businesses, particularly regarding labor practices and safety at SpaceX. This strategic outreach reflects Musk's attempt to influence policy, secure government support, and navigate the regulatory environment to benefit his diverse business interests.
