U.S. Democratic Representative Mark Pocan plans to introduce a bill designed to ban “special government employees” like Elon Musk from having federal contracts so they can’t steer spending towards their own self-interest.

This isn't news. Good lord, this isn't even "a bill which will never even get to committee has been introduced."
