It seems to me that outlawing lobbying would greatly improve our federal government (all other government, too, but I'll leave that for another discussion). If you have a good idea or want the feds to consider a certain action, write or email them. If they're interested or need more information, they'll get back to you. No $$ or other compensation of any kind should be allowed. Too many in our Congress are being bought off. Can Elon and Vivek take a look at this?
