Elon Musk pushes Lutnick for Treasury

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : The markets are telling Trump that Bessent is certainly the best choice for the position.
50% : Lutnick said he informed a gleeful Musk in a meeting before the election that Trump would move ahead with the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency if elected.
49% : "Me, Elon Musk and Trump are going to figure it out," Lutnick said in a podcast interview last month, describing plans to curtail spending.
42% : Voter perceptions of the economy were a driving factor in Trump's election to a second term -- 68 percent of voters described the nation's economy as "not so good" or "poor" in the network exit poll, and 70 percent of those voters supported Trump -- and the incoming president is notoriously sensitive to how markets respond to policy decisions and the political environment.
