 - Kevin Lacey — The FAA’s Administrator had launched an investigation into SpaceX after a spectacular rocket explosion; he’s now been forced out. 
 — The Department of Justice was looking into possible violations of securities and other laws by Musk and Tesla; it’s probably safe to assume that investigation won’t go any farther. 
 — The USAID Inspector General was investigating how Musk's SpaceX Starlink satellite terminals, purchased with USAID funds, were used in Ukraine’s war to defend itself from Russia. 
 — The Department of Defense’s Inspector General opened a review in 2024 into alleged repeated failures by Musk and SpaceX to properly disclose their contact with foreign leaders; he’s now fired. 
 — The USDA Inspector General's office was investigating alleged animal abuse at Neuralink, Musk’s brain implant company; he’s been fired. 
 — The National Transportation Safety Board, overseen by the DOT, had several open probes into Tesla regarding its remote and self-driving vehicles; odds are they’ll be dropped if they haven’t been already. 
 — The EPA had settled multiple lawsuits with Tesla in recent years over Clean Air Act and hazardous waste law violations; now that the EPA is being gutted there probably won’t be any more. 
 — The National Labor Relations Board, overseen by the Department of Labor, had 17 open investigations against Tesla and SpaceX for alleged unfair labor practices, safety violations, and discriminatory work practices that are probably now moot. 
 — The FCC was carrying out investigations and had issued court orders related to Musk’s businesses. 
 — The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was overseeing some of Musk’s companies and had a consent decree in place. 
 — Additionally, the Air Force and the Pentagon’s Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security launched reviews in November 2024 regarding Musk and SpaceX’s compliance with federal reporting requirements.
