Elon Musk Accused Of Using D.C. Ties To Evade Over $2 Billion In Liabilities, Senate Memo Says

Elon Musk could avoid over $2 billion in potential financial liabilities by using his influence in Washington, Senate Democratic staffers alleged in a memo released Monday, according to CNBC. The Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations reports that Musk used his role in the Department of Government Efficiency under Trump to evade oversight, stop investigations, and neutralize legal threats. On the day Trump took office, Musk’s companies faced at least 65 regulatory actions totaling $2.37 billion in potential liability, including $1.19 billion tied to Tesla’s autopilot claims. The White House rejected the allegations as “completely false and defamatory.”
