U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for her fierce criticism of tech giants, has once again set her sights on one of the most powerful men on the planet — Elon Musk. This time, she has introduced a bill that could significantly limit his influence within U.S. government structures. And Musk isn't the only one in her crosshairs — the legislation also targets other high-ranking individuals designated as SGEs (Special Government Employees).
Warren Wants to Eliminate Billionaire Conflicts of Interest — Musk as the Prime Example
According to Warren, it is unacceptable for unelected billionaires like Musk to act as “co-presidents” while profiting from their influence. In a post on social platform X (April 14), she sharply claimed that Elon Musk earns up to $8 million per day through his connections with federal agencies, while wielding major influence over national security and the country’s tech policy.
“My new bill would limit the conflicts of interest of Elon Musk and other high-powered ‘government advisors’ who have turned public service into big business,” Warren stated.
Together with Representative Melanie Stansbury, Warren has proposed a bill that would ban individuals with influence in companies valued at over $1 billion from holding advisory roles in federal agencies — a direct reference to Musk’s involvement through companies like SpaceX and Tesla.
SpaceX, Tesla, and Billions in Federal Contracts
It’s no secret that Elon Musk’s companies have secured billions of dollars in contracts from NASA, the Pentagon, and other U.S. government institutions in recent years. According to Warren, this close cooperation creates a dangerous precedent in which public funds flow into private tech empires.
The new bill aims to put an end to these entanglements. Musk has yet to respond publicly, but given his media influence and strong presence on the U.S. tech scene, a reaction is expected soon.
Warren Targets Trump Too
Elizabeth Warren has also increased her pressure on former President Donald Trump. According to CoinGape, she has called for an investigation into his tariff policies, claiming they manipulate the market and "break the American economy." Warren argues that Trump’s actions create artificial price imbalances and harm everyday Americans.
Tesla and the Government: A Relationship Dividing the Nation
While some support Warren’s stance and say it’s time to cut the ties between business and government, others warn: what if this damages a key driver of American innovation? Tesla and its technologies have already helped save the U.S. government billions of dollars and have pushed the country to the forefront of global technological leadership.
Now the question is: Will Warren gain support for her bill? And how will Musk respond?
