Screaming match in Oversight Committee over Musk subpoena
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee attempted to subpoena Elon Musk to testify but the procedural motion quickly turned into screaming and name-calling.
"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," ranking Democrat Rep. Gerry Connolly said as he attempted to move the committee to subpoena Musk.

Chairman James Comer quickly attempted to move business along, saying the motion on the table was not debatable, sparking outcry from Democrats:
"Mr. Chairman, why don't we want to debate Elon Musk coming in and talking to us about his work and how he's enriched himself?" one said.
"Chairman, I think it's outrageous that this committee will not even entertain that's …" said another.
"This is demagoguery. This is out of order," a Republican could be heard shouting.
"Order. Order. Order," Comer said over the back-and-forth between members.
"You're out of order. You know you're out of order. You know the rules of this committee. There's been a motion --" Comer said to Democrats.
"Mr. Elon Musk is out of order," Rep. Melanie Stansbury shot back.
"Oh God," an unknown member could be heard saying.
After order was restored, the motion failed, 19-20, along party lines, except for Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, who abstained from voting.
