Impeach Commerce Sec. Lutnick for Hawking Tesla Stock

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, has grossly abused his position to boost the financial interests of Elon Musk and Tesla — and Congress must hold him accountable.

In a stunning breach of public trust, Lutnick used his official role to publicly promote Tesla stock, praising Elon Musk and his Cybertruck while dismissing serious safety concerns. His comments served as an endorsement of a company whose CEO is deeply enmeshed in the Trump administration’s agenda. It’s no coincidence that Musk runs the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and stands to profit from policies pushed by the Trump White House.

This kind of blatant corruption is not just unethical — it’s potentially illegal. Federal officials are prohibited from using their positions for personal gain or to enrich their political allies. Lutnick’s conduct undermines the integrity of the Commerce Department and raises serious questions about whether the federal government is working for the public — or for billionaires like Musk.

Congress has the power and the responsibility to impeach corrupt officials who violate their oath of office. Lutnick’s actions clearly cross the line. His role is to represent the interests of American workers and businesses — not to act as a stock promoter for Tesla.
