Hillary Calls for New Congress to Hold Musk Accountable

On November 6, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on the new Congress to hold Elon Musk and others accountable immediately after taking office in January. She accused relevant individuals of "manipulating data to influence decisions" and emphasized that the government must take action and not let them go unpunished. Clinton stated that individuals like Musk require government intervention and advocated for accountability starting with the new Congress. Musk previously donated approximately $290 million to Republican candidates and related causes during the 2024 election cycle and spent about $470 million supporting the Republican Party during the midterm elections. Trump appointed Musk as a senior advisor and co-led the "Department of Government Efficiency," which was dissolved in July 2025. The Democratic Party is reportedly preparing an investigation into Musk, which may involve issues such as federal contract conflicts of interest, data access, and the impact of layoffs. Trump's camp has stated that they would protect Musk if necessary, but presidential pardon powers primarily address federal criminal offenses and are unlikely to prevent congressional oversight. The new Congress is expected to officially take office in January 2027, and Democratic-led committees may initiate related hearings and document requests.
