According to reports, Crenshaw is also a savvy trader, being one of the best in Congress.
Asked whether he thought Congress members should be allowed to trade in stock markets given they have inside trade information, Crenshaw claimed that US reps should be allowed to make money on stock trading as they "don’t get paid enough to live."
In 2021, the congresstrading.com Twitter account revealed that Crenshaw bought and sold several tranches of Tesla stock in November 2010 before publicly supporting Elon Musk's much-publicized decision to move to Texas.
