Elon Musk announced plans for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to investigate how certain members of Congress have amassed significant wealth despite modest salaries. He raised concerns about potential financial misconduct involving funds from the US Agency for International Development, suggesting a circuitous route of money that may benefit lawmakers. Musk's visit to Wisconsin also included support for conservative judicial candidate Brad Schimel, where he distributed $1 million checks to draw attention to his campaign against "activist judges."
Elon Musk announced a DOGE-led investigation into the wealth of Democratic lawmakers, questioning how they accumulate millions while earning $200,000 annually. He suggested a complex corruption scheme involving taxpayer money funneled through NGOs, potentially benefiting politicians like Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer. During a town hall in Wisconsin, Musk also awarded $1 million checks to attendees and emphasized his goal to influence the upcoming Supreme Court vote in the state.
Democratic lawmakers, led by Senator Ben Ray Luján and Congressman Dave Min, are set to introduce the "Special Government Employees Transparency Act of 2025," aiming to mandate public financial disclosures for Special Government Employees like Elon Musk. This legislation seeks to enhance accountability and transparency, addressing potential conflicts of interest, especially given Musk's significant federal contracts through SpaceX and Tesla. The bill faces challenges in a Republican-controlled Congress but is supported by various watchdog groups advocating for stricter ethical standards.
Elon Musk has endorsed new loan verification measures by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to combat fraud, particularly concerning loans issued to individuals over 115 years old. The SBA will now verify dates of birth and has paused applications for those under 18 or over 120, following revelations that $333 million in loans were granted to borrowers listed as alive in Social Security databases, including a 157-year-old who received $36,000. Critics, including Rep. Adam Schiff, warn that these measures could undermine Social Security access.
Concerns are mounting over NASA's recent cuts, which include the closure of critical offices that provide independent analysis, potentially increasing costs and giving Elon Musk greater influence over the agency. Critics argue that these changes, driven by the Trump administration, raise serious questions about conflicts of interest, especially with Musk's ties to SpaceX, NASA's largest private contractor. The layoffs, affecting about 20 employees, have sparked fears that the agency's long-term goals for lunar and Martian exploration are at risk.
Five Democratic senators have urged the Justice Department to investigate Elon Musk for potentially using his insider status in the Trump administration to pressure advertisers back to X. Concerns have arisen over Musk's influence, particularly after reports indicated that X pressured advertising firm Interpublic Group to increase spending, with implications for its merger with Omnicom Group. The senators warned that Musk's actions could violate criminal ethics laws if he leverages his position to harm businesses that do not advertise on X.
The Senate's decision to limit the CFPB's regulatory power over fraud and privacy has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest involving Elon Musk, particularly regarding his businesses, including Tesla and X. Lawmakers argue that Musk's actions could benefit his financial interests without proper waivers, potentially violating conflict of interest laws. The CFPB's role in consumer protection, especially in auto lending and digital payments, is critical, and any changes could directly impact Musk's ventures.
Elon Musk has labeled Social Security as "the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time," raising concerns about its sustainability due to declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy. His comments have ignited a national debate, with Republicans defending his stance on fraud reduction, while Democrats warn of potential threats to the program. As the Trump administration reviews the budget, the future of Social Security remains uncertain amid ongoing political tensions.
Elon Musk has labeled Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" during a podcast with Joe Rogan, raising concerns among Democrats about the future of the program. He emphasized the need to reform entitlement systems due to declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy. His comments have drawn criticism from lawmakers, with some suggesting they indicate a Republican agenda to undermine social safety nets, while others argue for addressing issues like fraud within the system.
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is seeking access to sensitive taxpayer data from the IRS, raising privacy concerns among Democratic lawmakers. Senators Ron Wyden and Elizabeth Warren have expressed fears that Musk may weaponize this information against political rivals, urging the IRS to disclose the extent of access granted to DOGE. Musk's recent social media activity suggests intentions to target political opponents, further alarming critics of his influence over federal operations.
