Jeanne Shaheen has introduced a bill that would prevent awarding government contracts and grants to companies owned by special government employees.

The bill was crafted in response to Musk ’s role in the White House , where Donald Trump has designated him a special government employee.

Special government employees serve a limit of 130 days and are exempt from some financial disclosure rules.
