Sanders says Senate should probe DOGE and subpoena Musk
"My constituents in Vermont and constituents all over this country want to know what the hell is going on with the federal government right now," the democratic socialist senator said.
Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders called for a Senate investigation into Elon Musk’s DOGE and urged Musk’s testimony, citing concerns over mass firings and agency dismantling.
He warned that Musk, not Trump’s cabinet, was effectively running the government. The call came as Trump clarified that cabinet secretaries—not Musk—had final decision-making authority.
Musk acknowledged DOGE’s missteps but remained involved. DOGE has faced criticism for reckless firings, affecting critical government functions.
Sanders insists Congress must hold Musk accountable for his unprecedented influence over federal operations.
