A group of House Democrats are ramping up pressure to force Elon Musk out of the White House by May 30, which will mark the end of the legally permitted 130-day term for what’s called “special government employees.” This is Texas Congressmember Greg Casar.
Rep. Greg Casar: “Trump and Musk have exploited Musk’s designation as a so-called special government employee to allow Musk to receive over $8 million a day in federal government contracts and subsidies, while ignoring our conflict of interest rules and while funneling more and more money to himself and to his companies.”
Democrats say Musk should not be allowed to return as a special government employee for at least a year and must first divest from his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.
