Elon Musk Subpoena Attempt by House Democrats Blocked by Republicans
A heated debate erupted in the House Oversight Committee as Democrats attempted to subpoena Elon Musk regarding his access to government data through Dogecoin (DOGE). The push for a subpoena quickly devolved into a shouting match, with House Republicans unanimously blocking the motion. Critics accused Republicans of shielding Musk from accountability, while Musk himself dismissed the subpoena call, telling a Democratic lawmaker not to be confrontational. Despite the absence of debate, the GOP maintained their stance against the subpoena, leading to frustration among Democrats who aimed to hold Musk accountable amid concerns over his influence and potential data misuse.
