Senator Elizabeth Warren, alongside Representative Melanie Stansbury, has introduced the SEER (SGE Ethics Enforcement & Reform) Act, aimed at enhancing transparency and ethical standards for Special Government Employees (SGEs). The legislation would prohibit SGEs who lead or have significant ownership in billion-dollar companies from communicating with or influencing government agencies that regulate or contract with their businesses. It also mandates public financial disclosures and restricts participation in projects where financial conflicts exist.

The bill is widely seen as a direct response to Elon Musk's dual roles—as an SGE and the head of companies like SpaceX and Tesla, both of which have extensive ties to government contracts. Warren has openly criticized Musk, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the influence of wealthy, unelected individuals in public policy.

This legislation reflects the broader tension between Warren and Musk, marking a continued push for stronger oversight and accountability in the intersection of private enterprise and public service.
