Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Tuesday released a 130-accusation report on tech billionaire Elon Musk’s time as a special government employee, arguing he profited from his work in the Trump administration.
“While serving as a ‘Special Government Employee’ in the White House and leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has maintained extensive financial conflicts of interest through his ownership or stake in several private and publicly traded companies: Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI, the Boring Company, and Neuralink,” the introduction of the report, which notes Musk’s net worth increased by over $100 billion since Election Day, reads.
The report from Warren separates her 130 accusations by section with titles like “Government resources to promote Musk’s businesses,” “Undercutting agencies regulating and investigating Musk’s businesses,” “Policy changes and approvals that benefit Musk’s businesses,” and “Lack of public transparency.”
“Musk and individuals acting on his behalf have been involved in dozens of questionable actions that raise questions about corruption, ethics, and conflicts of interest,” the report states.
Musk’s time spent as a special government employee in the first few months of President Trump’s second term was marked by a crusade to drastically cut the size and spending of the federal government.
The tech billionaire’s DOGE has drawn intense backlash via its targeting of federal agencies and departments like the Treasury Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The Hill has reached out to the White House, Tesla, SpaceX, X, xAI, The Boring Company and Neuralink for comment.
