A stunning legal twist: Congressman Greg Casar says Donald Trump has just 50 days to fire Elon Musk or face major consequences. The claim centers on federal conflict-of-interest laws and billions in subsidies given to Musk’s companies. With Trump’s ties to Tesla and SpaceX under fire, the countdown begins — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

00:00Last night, 76 House Democrats sent a clear message to President Trump.
00:07Trump and Musk have exploited Musk's designation as a so-called special government employee.
00:14A special government employee like Musk must leave the federal government after 130 days.
00:22Here's the big news that people across the country haven't heard but need to know.
00:2750 days from today, Donald Trump must, by law, fire Elon Musk.
00:35Last night, 76 House Democrats sent a clear message to President Trump.
00:42The clock is ticking.
00:45Since the beginning of this administration, Trump and Musk have exploited Musk's designation as a so-called special government employee
00:54to allow Musk to receive over $8 million a day in federal government contracts and subsidies
01:02while ignoring our conflict of interest rules and while funneling more and more money to himself and to his companies.
01:10But the law is crystal clear.
01:13However, a special government employee like Musk must leave the federal government after 130 days.
01:21That means that Musk must leave office by May 30th.
01:25That means that 50 days from today, Donald Trump must fire Musk.
01:3050 days from today, Musk's reign of terror must end.
01:35And that day cannot come soon enough.
01:37We would be here for hours if I tried to recount every single one of Musk's illegal actions or abuses or attacks on working Americans.
01:46But let me give you just a few.
01:49In his 80 days in power, Elon Musk has fired more veterans from the federal government than anyone else in history.
01:58Elon Musk has fired independent watchdogs that were investigating his own companies for corruption and for breaking the law.
02:05Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, tried to shut down the phone lines that seniors used to get their checks.
02:12They degraded the system so much that we were being warned that it was on the verge of crashing and collapse.
02:18Elon Musk demanded access to Americans' most sensitive and private medical records and tax information.
02:25Elon Musk tried to steer billions of dollars of government contracts towards his own companies
02:30while already collecting $8 million a day from the federal government.
02:35Elon Musk fired nuclear safety workers, air traffic controllers, and people trying to combat ongoing disease outbreaks.
02:44This must end.
02:45If we're up to the American people, I think Elon Musk would be fired tomorrow.
02:49But a typical government employee would have been gone weeks and weeks ago.
02:54Now, a typical government employee would have been held accountable for these crimes and for this corruption.
02:59But Musk relies on his so-called special government employee status.
03:04That gravy train runs out in 50 days.
03:08And when I say fire Elon Musk, I'm not talking about Trump and Musk hiding the ball
03:12and letting Musk continue to do what he's doing without his title.
03:16This is what I mean.
03:18Follow the law.
03:19No more going around cabinet secretaries to slash key programs starting in 50 days.
03:25No more privileged access to government information.
03:27No more directing government contracts to himself.
03:31No more running cabinet meetings.
03:33No more running the White House.
03:35That is our demand.
03:37And we are making it clear that we are putting every option on the table.
03:42Legislative, legal, and public pressure.
03:44And making it clear to the president that he's got 50 days.
03:47Don't miss out.
