Does Elon need to divest his business holdings to run a government agency that can directly affect his investment?

Removing red tape and regulation would only lower the barrier of entry, increasing competition.

Given that this "government agency" apparently is going to "provide advice and guidance from outside of Government" it wouldn't hit that divesting rule. Only if you're on government payroll does that apply AFAIK. But IANAL.

Of course not. He made an illegal lottery to buy votes and got away with it. Love to see US corruption in the face of everybody so the US stop attacking other countries using allegedly corruption.
