Democrats are sharpening their focus on Elon Musk even as he steps away from his role in President Donald Trump’s administration.
Anti-Trump Democrats are refusing to let go of one of their most high-profile political targets.
Musk, who served as a key figure in Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has announced his departure from government service.
He departed the Trump administration to refocus on his private ventures.
But his exit has done little to quiet his critics on the Left.
In a post on X, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) declared:
“Good riddance — but Musk isn’t off the hook for his chaos and corruption.”
Warren, a vocal critic of Musk’s influence in Washington, vowed to pursue accountability for what she described as the damage he caused while attempting to trim federal programs.
Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who is reportedly vying for a leadership role on the House Oversight Committee, echoed the sentiment.
Crockett is accusing Musk of treating the federal government like a personal startup experiment.
“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
