#ElonMusk publicly calling for an end to all federal financial and environmental etc. regulations on a Twitter space with Senators #JoniErnst and "Based" #MikeLee:

"Regulations should be default GONE. Not default there. Default GONE. We need a wholesale spring cleaning of regulations. If we ever remove something good, we can BRING IT BACK. It's time to get the boot off of the neck of Americans. It's time to get ahead based on the function of your hard work and skill -- not regulations holding you back. This is not freedom. We've got to restore freedom."
