Swalwell: Musk 'going to own' Republicans if they don't stand up to him now [View all]

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) spoke out against Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in governmental affairs, saying the tech billionaire is “horning his way” into decisions.

“I was with a few Republicans yesterday as Musk was rage-tweeting and giving his orders, and they were completely apoplectic,” Swalwell said on MSNBC on Thursday night. “And I told one of them, I said, ‘If you let him do this, if he does this and you don’t stand up to him now, he is going to own you for the next Congress.'”

“‘Every bill that is on the floor, you’re going to wait around on cots to see what Elon Musk says you are allowed to do.’ And that is no way to represent the people who sent you,” he continued.

Musk, whom Trump tapped to be the co-leader of his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), made several social media posts Wednesday criticizing the spending measure deal unveiled by House Republicans this week. He called the more than 1,500-page measure a big “piece of pork” while calling on GOP lawmakers to oppose it.
