They didn't let us in that building because they don't want Americans to know what they are doing. Mr. Speaker, I ask you and all my Republican colleagues: Would you let Elon Musk and his interns rummage through your savings account, your tax return, your children's personal data? I just don't understand the point of putting bills like this on the floor if we are not going to have the courage to stand up to Elon Musk and his rip off of Congress' power. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote against the rule. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Newhouse). Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.
