"EPA in Elon Musk’s Crosshairs"

"The tech mogul has had run-ins with the agency over permits and regulatory violations, and his businesses stand to benefit from slashing rules."

"Elon Musk could rip asunder EPA, an agency he has tangled with in the past, under a new post awarded by President-elect Donald Trump.

The billionaire tech mogul and Vivek Ramaswamy, who vied for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, have been tasked by Trump with leading a new government efficiency commission to slash the federal bureaucracy.

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency — a review panel — could upend agencies across the government, such as EPA."
