Elon Musk endorsed billionaire investor and crypto promoter Howard Lutnick as the next Secretary of Treasury. In an X message, Musk endorsed Lutnick over the other key candidate for the position – investor Scott Bessent.

My view fwiw is that Bessent is a business-as-usual choice, whereas Howard Lutnick will actually enact change. Business-as-usual is driving America bankrupt, so we need change one way or another, Musk said.

Musk then exchanged tweets with Rumble founder Chris Pavlovski, in support of Lutnick’s nomination.

Pavlovski and Lutnick visited Macedonia in July, for extensive meetings with Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski and top Government officials. Following the meetings, Mickoski said that a number of projects that could greatly benefit Macedonia were discussed.
