flag Elon Musk offers to pay TSA workers' salaries during the ongoing government shutdown, but experts say it's legally unfeasible without congressional approval.

flag Elon Musk has offered to personally cover the salaries of TSA workers during the ongoing partial government shutdown, which has left the Department of Homeland Security unfunded since mid-February. flag The funding impasse, now over a month old, has caused staffing shortages, extended airport security lines—exceeding three hours at major hubs—and contributed to 366 TSA resignations. flag While Musk’s proposal aims to ease financial strain on workers and improve travel conditions, legal experts question its feasibility, as private funds cannot legally replace federal payroll without congressional approval. flag The shutdown persists amid political gridlock, with Democrats blocking a DHS-wide funding bill, while some lawmakers and airline executives urge Congress to act to prevent further disruptions.
