Oversight Committee Devolves Into Shouting Chaos After Republicans Block Elon Musk Subpoena (VIDEO)
The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday devolved into chaos after the Democrats, who are in the minority, failed to subpoena Elon Musk.
Democrat lawmakers lashed out at Elon Musk for shaking up Washington with his DOGE team.
The Trump Administration really poked the hornets nest after Musk’s DOGE workers accessed the Treasury Department’s payment systems.
The Democrat-media complex lashed out at the young Gen Z whiz kids cleaning up government waste.
The DOGE team also got to work cleaning out waste after Trump shut down the Democrats’ USAID money laundering slush fund.
On Wednesday, Republicans on the Oversight Committee blocked Democrats from issuing Elon Musk a subpoena for deposition.
“It’s a puzzling role for many people, certainly on this side of the aisle, and I think for some on yours, who is this unelected billionaire that he can attempt to dismantle federal agencies, fire people, transfer them, offer them early retirement and have sweeping changes to agencies without any congressional review, oversight or concurrence,” Democrat Rep. Gerald Connolly said, according to ABC News.
NEW: I just moved to subpoena Elon Musk to appear before the Oversight Committee to answer for his unlawful takeover of agencies across the government.
Republicans blocked my motion without allowing any debate.
They will stop at nothing to cover up Elon Musk’s lawlessness.

Oversight Committee Republicans said Democrats could have invited Elon Musk for their witness slot but they brought in a college professor then “called for a performative vote in the middle of the hearing.”
