Last time I checked, nobody voted for Elon Musk to run the
federal government.

But this week, he seemed to think that was his job. And Donald Trump
appeared to agree with him.

You see, House Republicans negotiated with Democrats in Congress a plan to
keep the government open. But then Musk started tweeting about how it was
a bad deal. Then Trump trailed along later to say he was on the same page.
And House Republicans fell in line.

In their next plan, they got rid of proposed funding for research on
pediatric cancer, early detection of cervical cancer and breast cancer,
and children with Down Syndrome. All while the GOP gets ready to hand more
tax breaks to billionaires and giant corporations in the new year.

Because of this last-minute scrambling, they brought the federal
government to the brink of a shutdown in the middle of the holiday season.

And they made it clear that Musk is wielding a tremendous amount of
unearned power in Washington.

As he continues whispering in Donald Trump’s ear as the “unofficial
co-president” (that’s how the Washington Post put it), the American people
have a right to know whether his advice would help the whole country or
just line his own pockets.

Because let’s remember: Musk is still CEO of several companies with
significant interests before the federal government.

* Tesla has gotten nearly $42 million in government contracts to provide
electric vehicles and services to the government.
* SpaceX has received nearly $20 billion in government contracts.
* And his companies have been the subject of at least 20 recent federal
investigations or reviews.

So as Musk attends to his duties co-running the “Department of Government
Efficiency,” is he thinking through ways to best serve the American people
— or trying to make his companies richer and end investigations into his
work?

These are glaring conflicts of interest.

[ [link removed] ]I’ve called on the Trump transition team to make Musk follow the same
ethics standards they’ve set for other officials. Add your name if you
agree that the same rules ought to apply to the richest man in the world
as he appears to steer government policy.

I will keep working to hold the incoming Trump administration accountable
and hold the line against a far-right agenda that would reward the rich
and powerful.

I know you’re in this fight too — and I’m grateful.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
