Elon Musk voiced concerns on Twitter over the recent appointment of Missy Cummings to a key advisory role at the country’s top traffic authority, but U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg suggested the Tesla CEO speak to him directly about any concerns instead.
“He’s welcome to call me if he’s concerned,” Buttigieg told reporters at an event on Wednesday, according to Reuters. “We are responsible for making sure that every vehicle on the road is safe.”
