Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), and the Equal Employment Opportunity

Commission (EEOC) had over a dozen open investigations into Tesla and SpaceX regarding alleged unfair

labor practices, safety violations, and discriminatory work practices.

• NLRB filed a complaint against SpaceX after eight employees said they were fired in retaliation

• The DOL Inspector General was unlawfully fired by Trump during his midnight purge of

inspectors general on Jan. 24.

be made public.

• Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): Consumers have submitted over 300 complaints about

Elon Musk’s Tesla to the CFPB. 66 of these complaints were submitted in the last year.

• Trump fired CFPB Director Rohit Chopra and installed Project 2025 architect Russ Vought as the

bureau’s acting director.

• CFPB’s Washington headquarters has been closed, and staff and contractors have been told that

they cannot “perform any work tasks.”

• Musk tweeted “Delete CFPB” less than a week after the agency finalized a rule that could put his

planned collaboration with Visa to offer a real-time payments system on the platform into the

agency’s crosshairs.

Administration’s dismantling of the agency.

• Department of Transportation (DOT): DOT, which oversees the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), had several open

against SpaceX.

• The FAA Administrator resigned effective Jan. 20, following pressure from Musk.

• U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA): The USDA Inspector General launched a probe into Elon

Musk’s Neuralink in 2022 for potential violations of the Animal Welfare Act. As of January, the

the federal lands near SpaceX’s launch site in Texas for any damage to threatened species’ habitats. Musk

has repeatedly clashed with FWS, calling their review process “unacceptable.”

• The DOI Inspector General was fired by Trump.

• Department of Defense (DOD): Concerns that SpaceX has repeatedly failed to comply with federal

reporting protocols aimed at protecting state secrets, including by not providing some details of Musk’s

meetings with foreign leaders, have reportedly triggered federal reviews by DOD’s Office of Inspector

General, the Air Force, and the Pentagon’s Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and

Security. The Air Force also recently denied Musk high-level security access, citing potential security

risks associated with the billionaire.

• The DOD Inspector General was fired by Donald Trump.

against asylees and refugees in hiring. DOJ also opened investigations into whether Tesla has been candid

actions to gut the DOJ, including firing top leadership and prosecutors.

business holdings that receive billions of dollars in federal government contracts and subsidies—the

Director of OGE was fired by Trump
