Musk suggests more money for lawmakers after blocking pay hike

Raw Story  

Elon Musk, the billionaire appointed by President Donald Trump to slash the size of the US government, suggested Thursday that members of the U.S. Congress should get salary increases as a way to discourage corruption. "It might make sense to increase compensation for Congress and senior government employees to reduce the forcing function for corruption, as the latter might be as much as 1000 times more expensive to the public," Musk posted on his social media platform X. The first draft of a short-term government funding bill that Musk helped defeat in December would have allowed for a modest salary increase by reenacting an automatic cost-of-living adjustment for lawmakers. Cabinet members have voiced frustration over the DOGE emails, according to U.S. media, but Trump insisted that his team was "thrilled" with Musk.
