Greg Casar's Amendment Proposal on Elon Musk Contracts in Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Reconciliation

Published | Video Starts at 01:09

So my amendment, I would hope my Republican colleagues would vote for it, is that if a court or the federal government finds that Mr. Musk abused his power to enrich himself here over the last few months, then we would cancel his contracts. If a court finds that the richest man on earth went in, use the federal books, scraped people's data, steered contracts to himself, then we should maybe stop sending him $8 million a day and save the American taxpayer $3 billion. That's the way that not just Democrats, but conservatives, progressives, independents all across the country want to see us save some money by saying these corporate grifters that use the government to enrich themselves, they should get cut off.
