Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is under fire after reports surfaced that she bought Tesla stock worth between $4,000 and $60,000 shortly after being appointed chair of the House Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee. The purchase has raised concerns about a conflict of interest, given that DOGE is led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a close ally of former President Donald Trump who established DOGE to slash federal spending. Critics argue that Greene's stock purchase is a clear example of corruption.
