エロン・ムスクの反対運動は,議会のわずかな給与の増加を図るための資金援助法案を沈めた. Elon Musk's opposition sank a funding bill that would have given Congress a modest salary increase.

Elon Muskskの介入により,国会議員の少額給与増額の支給を含んだ短期政府資金法案の失敗に至った. Elon Musk's intervention led to the failure of a short-term government funding bill that included a provision for a modest salary increase for members of Congress. 昇給率は6,600ドル,又は3. 8%に上って,その年度の給与の3. 8%を超えるが,その役に就かぬ者を引き寄せるために必要とされているとみられている. The raise, up to $6,600 or 3.8% of their annual salary, was seen as necessary by some to attract less wealthy individuals to serve. しかしながら,ムスクに反対する議論の的となった昇給措置は,法案の承認を阻害した. However, the controversial raise provision, opposed by Musk, prevented the bill's approval.
