It falls under interstate commerce, and we want it that way. This is one of the few things States shouldn’t regulate.
Rest of the country is already forced to put up with CA’s Emission BS and whatever else they mandate. Every manufacturer just makes cars that meets CA’s stupid standards, and it raises the price on thm all.
Interstate Commerce clause. In tandem with State regulation. The States are >>> Which clause directs the regulation of personal automobiles used to exercise the right to travel. Not doing any commerce in the car.
The absolute corruption and dishonesty in the media in this country is astounding.
Are the fools who wrote this article so dimwitted that they think TESLA is the only auto manufacturer that the NHTSA oversees? Or that just because they also oversee TESLA there is no waste…..no wait they should get a pass from DOGE just so it doesn’t look like Musk ha sa ulterior motive. Yeah that’s the ticket😒
Musk is not making these cuts. The president is in collaboration with the agency director.
👍
I get your point. Reviewing the SCOTUS cases, the early cases were constrained to “commerce” and only later did they shift to “regulate.’ That clause has grown legs beyond the scope of what it originally meant.
“Whatever amounts to more or less constant practice, and threatens to obstruct or unduly to burden the freedom of interstate commerce is within the regulatory power of Congress under the commerce clause, and it is primarily for Congress to consider and decide the fact of the danger to meet it.”
- Chief Justice Taft, in the Olsen case.
That should have smashed California’s emission standards for out of state conveyance. The morality issue tied to the policing of evil in previous interpretations, didn’t stop pornography.
“What clause in the US Constitution makes this a federal issue?}
That would be the Interstate Commerce clause.

Now they are. The pushback from his email is proof of that. Tomorrow night when he doesn’t have any emails from workers, I wonder what he’ll do.
Democrats have been doing this for years at all levels of government.
DOGE is threatening the backbone of the Democrat party.
The next step should be to reverse Presidents Kennedy's executive order creating the government unions. Civil Service protections are adequate.
They’re trying to indicate corruption on Musk’s part. Ain’t gonna fly.
