The ELON MUSK Act (H.R. 2737) would prohibit "special government employees"—a specific legal category defined in federal law—from holding federal government contracts or agreements. The bill would also terminate any existing contracts or agreements that special government employees currently hold with the federal government immediately upon passage. The legislation, introduced in April 2025 by a group of House Democrats, targets what sponsors view as potential conflicts of interest where government employees could benefit from federal contracts. No specific funding or timeline provisions are outlined in the bill beyond the requirement that existing contracts be ended upon enactment. The proposal aims to prevent what the sponsors characterize as unethical arrangements where individuals simultaneously hold government positions and profit from federal agreements.
