In a recent statement, Elon Musk proposed that all bills introduced in the U.S. Congress should be digitally accessible to the public at least seven days before any vote. He emphasized the importance of transparency, stating, “We should be able to read bills before they are voted on.” 
Musk’s call for increased transparency in the legislative process aligns with his previous efforts to promote government efficiency. During his tenure leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk advocated for measures to reduce wasteful spending and improve accountability within federal agencies. 
The proposal has garnered attention from various sectors, with some praising the idea as a step toward a more informed and participatory democracy. However, implementing such a policy would require significant changes to current legislative procedures and could face opposition from lawmakers concerned about the potential impact on the speed and flexibility of the legislative process. 
As the debate continues, Musk’s suggestion adds to the ongoing conversation about the need for greater transparency and accountability in government operations.
