How much government contract money has Elon Musk received recently and what is Congresswoman Crockett's critique of this?
According to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, Elon Musk has received almost a billion dollars worth of government contracts in just two weeks - specifically $400 million for Tesla and over $300 million for SpaceX. Crockett strongly criticizes these contracts as being 'nothing more than a money grab.' She argues that Musk is not trying to save money for American people but instead is simply 'lining his pockets.' Crockett further points out that while Musk benefits financially, he simultaneously outrages people who don't fully understand government spending priorities, particularly when compared to funding for important public health issues like HIV and AIDS.
