'A pretty big one': CNN hits Trump backer over Elon Musk's 'conflict of interest'

Raw Story

CNN host Dana Bash interrupted: "One of the criticisms and the concerns is that he has billions of dollars tied up in Government contracts, you don't see a conflict of interest here?" "But that's like a pretty big one," Bash pressed.
