该媒体报道，马斯克已经为前总统的2024年竞选活动提供支持，最近还成立了一个政治行动委员会，支持颁发“精英主义和个人自由”等价值观，这些价值观他现在认为是共和党所代表的。
"You can think of Musk's contribution as an investment to eliminate any governmental interference with his businesses," Michael Gerhardt, an administrative law expert at the University of North Carolina, told Business Insider.

但是，如果特朗普成为总统，并且共和党控制国会，他们可以通过法律授权总统对这些机构拥有更多权力。
"If Trump were in the White House, he would control the EPA, the head of the EPA, and they could also amend those regulations to make the permitting for Clean Water Act requirements easier," Jillian Blanchard, an environmental lawyer at Lawyers for Good Government, said. "Same is true for the Endangered Species Act right now."
“如果特朗普入主白宫，他将控制美国环境保护署（EPA）以及EPA的负责人，他们还可以修改那些法规，使得洁净水法（Clean Water Act）的许可要求更容易满足，”为“好政府律师”工作的环保律师朱莉安·布兰查德认为。当然，现在针对濒危物种法（Endangered Species Act）的情况也是如此”。
Why It Matters: Regulatory changes under a potential Trump presidency could significantly ease the pressure on Musk's companies.
