Summary

Democrats Stansbury and Raskin introduced the “Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act,” which targets Elon Musk’s dismantling of federal services through the DOGE cost-cutting scheme.

It seeks personal liability for Musk, amid lawsuits and concerns over sensitive data access.

The proposal aims to protect taxpayers and critical federal operations against unauthorized actions.

    No one is saying they can’t be put behind bars. Try to name a billionaire that was arrested in the US that got arrested without a mountain of paperwork, slow judicial due diligence, and they eventually went to prison.
