Elon Musk could dodge more than $ 2 billion in financial sanctions by firing federal government strings using DOGE, according to a report on Monday members of the Senate Democratic Committee.
The report says that Elon has used its strong influence to kill surveys, dodge the application and have prosecution related to its companies. He indicates that Elon's “Ministry of Elon’s Department of Government” helped Washington’s agencies while President Donald Trump openly supported the aggressive cuts.
Democrats now say that Elon's coming out of Doge operations could be more on examination of the exam than anything else.
They accuse Elon, the richest man in the world, of transforming the government into a personal tool to “escape surveillance, derail the surveys and make disputes disappear each time he chooses it – in his terms and his command,” said the report.
The permanent subcommittee of the Senate on surveys has set up the 44-page memo describing how the Mess d'Elon worked.
On the day of the inauguration of Trump, Elon companies – including SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Xai – were already faced with at least 65 regulatory or enforceable measures active or possible of 11 different federal agencies, many we are all.
These open cases stood up to $ 2.37 billion in potential financial risk. In Tesla, the investigators reported $ 1.19 billion in possible responsibility for allegedly lied to the capacities of its automatic pilot and its autonomous functionalities.
Neuralink, Elon's Brain Chip Venture, faced $ 281 million in potential sanctions for allegedly made false complaints on the risks linked to his products. Neuralink also risked $ 1.59 million additional dollars of civil and criminal fines linked to alleged violations of the animal welfare law. The report indicates that Elon was not trying to protect a business – he had a complete empire to protect.
The Senate pushes Elon to answers before the deadline of May
Democrats said Elon's behavior has a clear objective: to increase his own wealth by crushing all roadblocks.
“The line through the connection of Many decisions of Mr. Elon seems to be self-enrichment and avoid what he perceives as obstacles to the progression of his interests,” said the memo.
Senate employees also warned that the real advantages that Elon pocketed through these tactics “could never be known, and it is by design. Silence is strategic, and it is dangerous ”.
Senator Richard Blumenthal du Connecticut, who is the member of the committee, sent official letters requiring responses from the five companies managed by Elon.
Blumenthal wants each company to overthrow the details of the investigations it was faced before Trump took up his duties, and explains how they ensured that Elon d'Elon d'Elon's government was not used to interfere with these probes.
Blumenthal told them to answer by May 11, leaving Elon and his companies shortly to find the documents. The White House, as usual, castigated the claims of the Democrats.
The Trump administration denied that the role of the Elon government was used for personal or financial gain. “Any statement is otherwise completely false and defamatory,” the White House said in a statement.
In an email response, Steven Cheung, Trump communications director, said Blumenthal “is clearly suffering from a debilitating and insufficient Trump disturbance syndrome that failed his brain.”
The involvement of Elon's Doges and its business problems are now deeper than ever. The Democrats of the Senate are not only asking questions; They are digging years of surveys, fines and allegations that Elon tried to erase while driving the government machine.
Each case connected to Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Xai has an amount in dollars and a paper path, and the memo suggests that it could be even more hidden below the surface.
The Democrats said that Elon's control was not random or messy – it was clear, calculated and designed to crush anything on its way. They highlighted the government cuts, regulatory silence and agencies dismantled as part of the Elon match plan.
The White House can laugh, but the Senate Democrats want black and white answers. With a duration of May 11 of May 11, Elon companies can either open books, or cope with a full -fledged Senate struggle.
