<p>Democrats are not ready to let go of Elon Musk, one of their leading political targets, now that he is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-would-like-to-thank-president-trump-musk-says-farewell-to-doge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">parting ways</a> with the Trump administration.</p>
<p>Musk has drawn their ire for months due to his efforts to help President Donald Trump cut waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal government with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The billionaire tech entrepreneur is moving on to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-significantly-cut-back-doge-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rededicate</a> himself to his companies.</p>
<p>&#8220;Good riddance — but Musk isn’t off the hook for his chaos and corruption,&#8221; Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said in a post on X. &#8220;We must hold him accountable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who is <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/05/01/congress/crockett-maneuvers-for-oversight-00321736" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly pushing</a> to become the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee, also put Musk on notice.</p>
<p>&#8220;Elon came to Washington thinking he could run the government like one of his companies — firing people left and right, gutting essential services, and tearing this s*** up from the ground up,&#8221; Crockett <a href="https://x.com/RepJasmine/status/1928090181694890007" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;What he did is the definition of waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s time for a full investigation into the damage he’s caused and for the truth to come to light.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p>As it stands, Democrats in Congress can investigate Musk and make requests for interviews and documents. However, because they lack a majority in the House and Senate, they do not have the power to subpoena or schedule official hearings. That may change after the 2026 midterm elections if Republicans lose seats.</p>
<p>In a post on X announcing his departure, Musk thanked Trump &#8220;for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending&#8221; and said that the DOGE &#8220;mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many GOP lawmakers praised Musk after he confirmed his time as a special government employee was coming to an end. They have also voiced eagerness to codify the so-called &#8220;DOGE cuts,&#8221; a process that is set to begin next week, when the White House is expected to send its first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-budget-director-confirms-first-targets-for-clawing-back-spending" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rescissions package</a> to the House.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you [Elon Musk] for your incredible efforts and sacrifices you made to launch DOGE to save America from our national debt crisis,&#8221; DOGE Subcommittee Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) <a href="https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1927883321997934805" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on X. &#8220;This should only be the beginning of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse and delivering government efficiency for the American people.&#8221;</p>
