Elon Musk Questions Congress Members' Wealth: 'Where Did They Get All The Money?'

Billionaire Elon Musk targeted members of Congress who enjoy rising wealth amounts while in office, which comes as retail traders place larger emphasis on politicians’ stock and options trading activity. Members of Congress can buy and sell stocks, options and cryptocurrency as long as they disclose the transactions in a timely manner. This activity has drawn increased scrutiny in recent years as trades made by members of Congress often appear to be conflicts of interest based on non-public knowledge and can sometimes be stocks related to government-funded contracts.
