Yet for so-called specific government employees, it is a national criminal offense under the ethics laws, unless a waiver is issued.
Elon Musk is now a” specific government employee,” according to the White House, as it was reported in the press this week in response to repeated inquiries from the internet. He helps significantly transform federal government functions. That would give Mr. Musk a sort of cross status, similar to that of a full-time employee of the federal government.
No official documents have been made to date that show Mr. Musk’s status as a particular government employee, a White House official told The New York Times on Monday.
What is a specific government employee?
A unique government worker is an executive branch appointment named to “perform critical, but limited, services to the government, with or without payment, for a period not to exceed 130 days” during a one-year time.
People in this capacity are frequently a member of special advisory committees that rely on private business professionals to influence state decisions, such as deciding which herbicides are safe to use on certain foods.
What are the guidelines for such people?
A unique government worker may not be able to participate in a public policy decision that might affect one’s financial holdings, such as a new income law that affects millions of Americans.
