Investigate Musk's Corruption and Tech Executives' Pay-to-Play Scheme

Investigate Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley executives who bought access to federal power and profited from it. The Washington Post has reported that tech giants lined up to fund Trump's inauguration, with Apple and Meta each pledging $25 million, Microsoft and Palantir contributing $10 million each, totaling roughly $333 million. Nvidia alone generated over $21 billion in free cash flow in a single quarter. Twenty-five million dollars is nothing to these companies. What they were buying, tariff exemptions, export licenses, Pentagon contracts with no rival bidders, antitrust cases that quietly died, is worth far more. That is not philanthropy. That is corruption with a gold plaque on it. These executives saw a man who tried to overturn an election and treated it as a growth opportunity. Their fortunes grew. So did the damage to democratic institutions. A formal investigation into whether federal contracts, regulatory decisions, or antitrust enforcement were shaped by these payments is not optional. It is the job. Follow the money.
