Ro Khanna, Elon Musk spar over subpoena motion in Oversight Committee
After order was restored in the House Oversight Committee following Democrats attempting to subpoena Elon Musk to testify, the motion failed 19-20 along party lines, with California Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat, abstaining.
"I would have voted yes," Khanna explained after the vote. "They called a procedural vote without notice & I like 8 others didn’t make it there on time. Musk’s attacks on our institutions are unconstitutional. He should be subpoenaed & answer to our committee. They should call the vote again with notice."
Musk responded, telling Khanna, "Don't be a d---."
Khanna then slammed Musk for government overreach and the proposal to eliminate the Department of Education.
"Elon we have known each other a long time," he posted. "You can't stop payments that Congress has authorized and appropriated. Make recommendations to Congress, but don't stop payments. That's Article I. Also, let's debate why we need the DOE."
