Subject: Ethics rules? How quaint
Connolly calls for investigation into Lutnick encouraging Americans to buy Tesla stock

What Happened: Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) has called for an investigation into Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after he urged Americans to buy Tesla stock on Fox News. Connolly argues this violates ethics rules.

Why It Matters: This is part of broader concerns about Musk’s unchecked influence and power in the Trump regime while personally profiting from federal contracts and policy decisions. Connolly has requested financial disclosures, internal communications, and ethics records to determine if Lutnick’s remarks broke government rules.
