US Rep. Melanie Stansbury has announced plans to introduce a bill aimed at protecting taxpayers from the financial implications of Elon Musk’s actions within the federal government. The bill, called the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act, will seek to hold Musk accountable for any damages caused by his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been criticized for dismantling government agencies.
Stansbury, along with Congressman Jamie Raskin, is taking action in response to concerns raised by U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján and U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich about the chaos created by Musk’s interference and the potential risks to national security and privacy. They have expressed worries about preservation of documents, exposure of classified information, and violations of privacy due to the actions of DOGE.
The congresswoman has also raised alarms about reports of staff layoffs at the Environmental Protection Agency and potential dismantling of other departments like Labor and Education. Stansbury emphasized that these actions are not legal and are causing significant concerns among New Mexicans about the potential impact on federal funding and the economy.
With lawsuits mounting and potential damages estimated in the millions, Stansbury’s bill seeks to ensure that taxpayers are not held responsible for liabilities caused by Musk and his administration. The congresswoman’s office is receiving a high volume of calls from constituents with concerns about the implications of federal fund freezes and the potential catastrophic impacts on both the public and private sectors.
The introduction of the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act represents a significant step in holding Musk accountable for his actions within the federal government and protecting taxpayers from financial repercussions.
