White House turns down Elon Musk’s offer to pay TSA workers during DHS shutdown
The White House has rejected an offer from billionaire Elon Musk to fund pay TSA workers during a partial government shutdown that has disrupted airport travelers across the country, several sources told CBS News.
The suggestion was taken seriously by Trump administration officials, but there could be legal challenges for Musk to cover the pay, even indirectly, because of Musk’s various government contracts, one source said.

White House officials also reportedly believe the partial shutdown is likely to end soon, according to sources.
