BREAKING: Democrats go right for Elon Musk's jugular and introduce a bill to ban special government employees from obtaining federal contracts — directly threatening his lucrative government gravy train.
The best part is the name of the bill...
Representative Mark Pocan introduced the legislation which is titled "Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK)."
"Elon Musk gets more than $20 billion in contracts from the US government and bought his way into a new role in the government where he can direct even more money to himself. Enough," Pocan wrote on X.
"My new bill, the ELON MUSK Act, will end this grift!" he added.
Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has become a lightning rod for criticism as the billionaire's unelected minions work to gut the federal government by rummaging through the Treasury Department's systems.
"@ElonMusk is ripping us off and like millions of Americans across the country, I’m pissed," Pocan added in another post.
"I’m taking action by introducing the ELON MUSK Act, preventing grifters like him from getting richer while pillaging our tax dollars for himself," he wrote.
Pocan is absolutely right. Musk's increasing control of our government while making money off government contracts is the definition of a conflict of interest. He and Trump are transitioning us from a democracy into a full-blown oligarchy.
Enough is enough. Pass this bill immediately.

If Elon Musk did in the private sector what he's doing in the public sector, he would face a multi-BILLION dollar class action lawsuit for illegal breaches of data privacy and transparency.
🚨NEW: U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has blocked Elon Musk's DOGE from accessing personal information, including social security numbers and bank accounts, from the Treasury Department.
RETWEET to thank Judge Kollar-Kotelly for standing up for our privacy!
Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food and health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.
By welcoming Israeli PM Netanyahu, wanted by the ICC to face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the United States is showing contempt for international justice.
Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan are doing nothing while Musk, owner of Trump and the GOP, attacks our government and endangers all Americans. #alaska
