Rep. Stansbury Introduces Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act
Taxpayers must not be held responsible for Elon Musk’s illegal actions
Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act, legislation that would ensure that Elon Musk and anyone in charge of DOGE is liable for claims against the federal government due to the illegal actions that they are taking.
This legislation is co-sponsored by Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08).
Musk and his DOGE followers feel empowered to take illegal actions because as Special Government Employees, they face no personal or financial risk when the currently eight pending lawsuits are decided. Instead, the American taxpayer will be left footing the bill for the chaos he is causing.
This legislation would ensure that Elon Musk and anyone in charge of DOGE is liable for claims against the federal government due to the illegal actions that they are taking.
"Over the past two weeks, Elon Musk and his cronies have infiltrated agency after agency, taking illegal actions in government agencies by withholding funds approved by Congress, shutting down agencies like USAID, and firing protected civil servants. They also accessed the personal information of all Americans, flagrantly disregarding our national security protocols," said Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01). "Elon Musk is fueling chaos and corruption, and taxpayers shouldn't pay for this. My bill would hold him and anyone in charge of DOGE responsible for their illegal actions."
