Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are advocating for the elimination of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which they describe as a problematic entity that operates under the guise of oversight but primarily extorts money through fines. Ramaswamy emphasized that the real threat to democracy stems from the unelected federal bureaucracy. This stance has sparked discussions about the implications of such actions on American businesses and the broader regulatory landscape.
