What this bill would do

This bill is titled the "Eliminating Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act of 2025" or the "ELON MUSK Act". It aims to prohibit special Government employees from entering into or benefiting from any contract or agreement with the Federal Government. Additionally, the bill requires the termination of any such existing contracts or agreements held by these employees on the date the Act is enacted. The definition of a "special Government employee" is tied to the meaning found in section 202 of title 18, United States Code.
