US Democratic Representative Mark Pocan plans to introduce a draft law created to stop “Special Government employees” such as Elon Musk to have federal contracts so that they cannot run spending on their own interest.
The proposed draft law is called the Elon Musk Act, which is about eliminating the looting of our nation by facilitating the non -exocation of the unethical state.
“No government employee,” special “or not, there should be any financial interest in who the government does,” said Pocan, the Democrat of the House of Wisconsin in a statement. “Elon Musk is a poster for this type of abuse. After more than $ 20 billion in federal contracts, there is no way for Musk to be objective in what he is doing. Taxpayer protection must be our number one advantage. “
Musk’s Spacex holds federal contracts with NASA and the Defense Department.
The federal government has created ethics rules on how special government employees should behave. Musk seems ready to ignore some of them. For example, the governing statute for financial conflicts of interest prohibits special employees from “participating in issues that affect their financial interests”.
When President Donald Trump entered the Oval office, he put Musku at the head of a new controversial advisory group called the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) which has widespread power in all federal agencies, many of which industry in which Musk has an action.
Ethics rules also advise that such employees should not be included in external activities, including employment, that conflict with official duties. In addition to being the Director General of Tesla, Spacex and Xai, Musk also owns X (once Twitter), neuralralin and boring company.
The infiltration of Federal Musk agencies has already aroused public protests and political opposition after it has demanded uninterrupted access to the computer systems of the federal government agencies, including the Treasury Department’s payment system dealing with social and medical security.
Democrats of the house and the Senate also presented a draft law on Tuesday to block “illegal access” to the treasury payment system, and the two federal employee trade unions have filed lawsuits to block DOGE entry into the system.
