Foster Statement on Team Musk's Access to U.S. Treasury Payments

Washington, DC — Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement: 

"Elon Musk is an unelected oligarch with no regard for national security, conflicts of interest, or ethical standards. Americans deserve answers as to why his team was given unrestricted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system, which gives them the ability to spy on U.S. treasury payments to private American citizens, as well as Musk's business competitors. This power grab is corrupt and unprecedented, and my colleagues and I are doing everything we can to put a halt to this."
