An Open Letter

To: Rep. Spartz, Sen. Young, Sen. Banks

From: A verified voter in Fishers, IN

March 12

I would assume you are aware that President Trump and Elon Musk used the White House as a backdrop to promote the Tesla automobile. I believe you may be aware Elon Musk has significant interest in the Tesla Corporation. As well, court records show Elon Musk is an advisor to the President, an employee of the Executive Branch. With this in mind, may I draw your attention to: Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR) Title 5—Administrative Personnel CHAPTER XVI—OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS SUBCHAPTER B—GOVERNMENT ETHICS PART 2635—STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH Subpart G—Misuse of Position § 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain. 5 CFR § 2635.702 - Use of public office for private gain. CFR prev | next § 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain. An employee may not use their public office for their own private gain; for the endorsement of any product, service, or enterprise (except as otherwise permitted by this part or other applicable law or regulation); or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section. It appears Elon Musk is in violation of this code and President Trump is complicit in this infraction, perhaps even guilty of it himself. I believe you have a duty as my representative to look into this. I request that you do your duty.
