Mark Pocan introduces "ELON MUSK Act" to try to stop Musk's government-destroying rampage

^{Published on 2025-02-07 07:21:52 - MSN}

Mark Pocan (D-WI) introduced legislation yesterday in response to Elon Musk's potentially illegal takeover of several key government functions. His bill - the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act - would force Musk to choose between his companies' lucrative government contracts or his position of influence in the Trump administration.

Representative Mark Pocan has introduced the "Elon Musk Act," aimed at addressing concerns over Elon Musk's influence on government policies and decisions. The legislation seeks to prevent individuals like Musk, who have significant business interests in government contracts, from exerting undue influence over federal agencies. This comes in the wake of Musk's controversial decisions and statements, including his management of X Corp (formerly Twitter), where he has made significant changes to content moderation and employee layoffs, raising alarms about potential conflicts of interest and the integrity of government operations. The act proposes measures to ensure transparency and accountability, particularly focusing on how government contracts are awarded and managed, to safeguard against what Pocan describes as Musk's "government-destroying rampage."
