Democrats plan to investigate Elon Musk if they win Congress

independent.co.uk —

House Oversight Committee Democrats plan to investigate tech billionaire Elon Musk if the party gains control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections, focusing on his political donations and past government role. The potential probe will examine Musk's contributions of over $276 million to Republican candidates and committees since July, with Representative Greg Casar questioning whether donations aim to secure federal contracts for SpaceX and Tesla. President Donald Trump praised Musk at a recent Arizona rally, calling him a great guy and an 80 percent super genius, as the investigation would target conflicts of interest.
