Musk prepares for political war as Democrats threaten investigations

Elon Musk has signaled he is prepared to fight back if Democrats win control of Congress in next month's midterm elections, responding to threats of investigations with a warning to target his political opponents. Democratic lawmakers have said they would investigate Musk, his companies, and the U.S. DOGE Service if they win either chamber, with Senator Richard Blumenthal citing a "web of potential corruption" and vowing to use subpoena power to compel testimony and documents. Musk has spent over $350 million on Republican midterm efforts, making him the largest individual donor, while facing scrutiny over DOGE's disputed $215 billion in claimed savings, which a government audit found were consistently overstated.
