House Oversight Republicans shut down Democrat efforts to subpoena Elon Musk over DOGE actions

House Republicans on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday ended the panel's Democrats' efforts to subpoena Elon Musk over his Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) latest moves regarding federal agencies and their workforce.

Musk is considered the brains behind a recent buyout offer the White House Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent to federal employees last week, and sent some of his department's employees to several different agencies to tap into the Treasury Department and OPM, according to The Hill.

DOGE staff also reviewed information from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) where some employees have been told not to return while the future of the agency is being determined.

Democratic Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly suggested subpoenaing Musk on Wednesday, questioning how he could attempt to "dismantle" federal agencies when he was never elected or confirmed by the Senate.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer slammed the request, claiming that Democrats already had a chance to invite Musk to testify as one of their witnesses.

“You all could have invited Mr. Musk to be your minority witness, but you all chose to have a college professor, which is what you normally choose to have as a witness at any hearing and that’s fine, but you all had an opportunity to invite Elon Musk,” Comer insisted.

The Democrats select a professor as their witness (a screeching leftist of course) and then complain because the Republicans will not call Musk to testify.

These people are evil and corrupt. Not a one of the Democrats are "well-intentioned" and honest.

As the hallowed statesmen Barack Hussein Obama once said, “Elections have consequences. We won.”

Perhaps Elon should change his last name to FAUCI because HE wasn’t elected either!

In the private sector, you could be arrested for interfering with a government audit. Some types of government auditors are authorized to carry weapons to the audit.
