Hi,

It’s concerning enough that Elon Musk’s companies have billions of dollars of federal contracts that send taxpayer dollars to the richest man in the world. It’s even more concerning how these contracts are getting doled out with Musk in power.

Recent reporting shows Trump’s State Department had planned to award Musk a $400 million contract for “Armored Teslas.”¹ SpaceX holds billions in defense contracts while Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) team keeps its cuts away from the Pentagon. And Musk was just hit with a formal conflict of interest complaint over a deal between Starlink and the FAA.²

Congress must demand an independent review of all of Musk’s companies’ contracts with the federal government.

Sign the petition: Audit Musk’s contracts!

Between SpaceX, Starlink, and Tesla, Musk’s companies have received over $38 billion in taxpayer dollars.

But the White House says Musk will police his own conflicts of interest. That’s not good enough. The American people deserve an independent audit of Musk’s contracts.

Sign the petition: Demand an independent audit of Elon Musk’s federal contracts!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
