Dr. Nnaemeka Obiaraeri, a development economist, questions the inclusion of billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates in the newly constituted Presidential economic management team. He highlights a tradition where successive U.S. presidents avoid such appointments.
Obiaraeri suggests that the inclusion of billionaires may not align with the diverse needs and perspectives of the general population. He raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the risk of prioritizing individual wealth over broader economic welfare.
