House Democrats Demand Musk Exit Government Role by May 30

A group of 77 House Democrats, led by Rep. Greg Casar, is urging President Trump to confirm that Elon Musk will step down from his role as a Special Government Employee (SGE) by May 30, as required by law. The lawmakers allege that Musk's actions while in office have harmed working Americans and raised ethical concerns, particularly regarding conflicts of interest due to his business dealings benefiting from government contracts. They argue that Musk's tenure has led to significant cuts in federal spending and services critical to citizens, including veterans and seniors. Despite the pressure, the Trump administration has yet to respond publicly to the Democrats' demands, although reports suggest Musk plans to complete his work within the 130-day limit. Musk has acknowledged the controversy surrounding his role and indicated that his position may be affecting Tesla’s stock negatively. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance stated that Musk will continue to provide advice to the administration after he leaves his formal role.
