A House Oversight Committee hearing descended into chaos on Wednesday morning after Democratic lawmakers were blocked from subpoenaing billionaire Elon Musk.
Recently, Democrats have raised concerns after Musk along with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have begun purging federal budgets and employees in the executive branch.
On Wednesday, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) made a motion to subpoena Musk before the committee attempting to “dismantle federal agencies, fire people, transfer them, offer them early retirement, and have sweeping changes to agencies without any congressional review.”
Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) immediately moved to dismiss the motion leading to outcry from Democratic lawmakers on the committee, including Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM).

“Mr. Musk is too busy gathering evidence for your criminal prosecutions to answer any of your questions.”

These dems still don’t get it. Frankly, Comer is showing them great mercy. Musk would show them for the fools they are if not point out their criminality by name.

Odd democrats never subpoenaed any of the bureaucrats who ran our country into deep debt for decades, ain’t it?

Actually, if Musk was there, I bet he would turn the tables on these Democrats. They would be sorry that they ever brought up the idea.
