Reform government contracting to prevent conflicts of interest

To: Sen. Murray, Rep. Randall, Sen. Cantwell

From: A constituent in Tacoma, WA

March 28

Outrageous! Elon Musk is blatantly abusing his power for personal profit at taxpayer expense. Despite his glaring conflict of interest from his senior Trump administration role, SpaceX has raked in over $560 million in cushy government contracts just since January, building on over $20 billion previously awarded, most scandalously without transparency into how they outbid rivals. It's a naked cash grab as Musk oversees the very agencies filling SpaceX's pockets with billions while potentially accessing inside information to undermine competition. This plutocratic grift makes a mockery of ethical governance and public trust. If left unchecked, Musk will continue gorging his company on lucrative federal deals in exchange for propping up Trump's cronyism. Musk must either be forcibly blocked from any decisions enriching SpaceX or compelled to divest entirely to prevent further corruption of our political system solely to line his own pockets at America's expense. Enough is enough!
