🚨 Did Elon Musk Kill U.S. Drug Pricing Reform? 🚨
Today, Marcus the Intern breaks down a major political controversy involving Elon Musk, AOC, and drug pricing reform. House Democrats and Republicans were set to pass a bill to lower prescription drug prices, but after a series of late-night tweets from Musk, the bill suddenly collapsed. Five days later, Musk tweeted: “What is a pharmacy benefit manager?” sparking outrage from lawmakers.
But while Musk’s influence on legislation is under fire, why isn’t Congress addressing its own financial conflicts? Lawmakers like Nancy Pelosi have been accused of profiting from stock trades tied to major legislation, yet memecoins are getting more attention than insider trading in Washington. Is this a debate about financial ethics, or just political theater? Let’s dive in!
