The ELON MUSK Act is a necessary step to uphold transparency and integrity in government spending. Special government employees wield significant influence over federal contracts and expenditures. Allowing them to profit from those decisions creates a blatant conflict of interest that erodes public trust. Just as members of Congress are prohibited from receiving federal contracts, special government employees must be held to the same ethical standards. Recent actions by billionaires like Elon Musk, who has amassed over $20 billion in federal contracts while exerting undue influence over sensitive government operations, exemplify the urgent need for this legislation. Protecting taxpayer funds from potential abuse and ensuring fair, impartial use of government resources should be a top priority. I urge you to support the ELON MUSK Act to eliminate loopholes that enable self-dealing and restore accountability in government contracting.
