Elon Musk's Impact: Exploring How Technology and Government Rules Interact.

Elon Musk, the head of Tesla, has often disagreed with the US government. He believes their rules have made it hard for Tesla to build self-driving cars.

But now that his friend Donald Trump is President, many of these rules might disappear. This could mean the end of investigations into Tesla car crashes and their self-driving technology.

Safety experts are worried because these investigations have saved lives. They believe Musk wants to control the government department responsible for transportation safety.

It's easy for the Trump administration to stop these investigations and safety programs. They can do it quickly without breaking any laws, which worries many people.

Musk's support for Trump during the election could benefit his other companies too. SpaceX and X, Musk's space and social media companies, are also under government scrutiny.
