Mrs. TORRES of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today as we find ourselves in a situation where a small group of very powerful individuals led by Elon Musk are gaining unprecedented influence over critical national systems.

Right in front of our eyes, we can see how Republicans are allowing Musk to take full control of key resources, including access to Treasury payments and government-backed projects.

The consequence of this unchecked power is a billionaire's unchecked ability to take earned services away from American families, distort markets for personal gain, and influence the future of American democracy.

It is time to ask the tough questions: Why are Republicans enabling this concentration of power, and who is really benefiting from this arrangement?

It is time to take a stance for transparency and accountability in our government. It is time to stand for the rule of law and for our democracy.
