Summary
Congressional Democrats are escalating efforts to block Elon Musk’s influence over federal financial systems, rallying outside the Treasury Department and proposing the “Stop the Steal” Act to restrict unauthorized access.
Lawmakers accused Musk and Trump of a “hostile takeover” and vowed to obstruct Trump’s nominees, including his budget chief.
Protesters chanted “Lock him up!” as Democrats warned Musk could misuse sensitive taxpayer data.
Despite their push, passing legislation will be difficult with Republican control of Congress.
It is astonishing isn’t it? Why does a Dem Congressman just walk into the OPM with an official entourage, tear the Musk server out of the wall, and tell the guy to stuff it for example? Or something? Why does Musk have more power than elected officials?
I thought my country’s opposition is ineffectual, but this is a new level of idiocy.
