Did you see my team's email earlier? We had an Oversight Committee hearing today, and I need to be honest with you — what happened was bad.
I introduced a motion to subpoena Elon Musk so he could answer for his corruption and illegal influence over our government. Republicans shut it down immediately. They didn’t even pretend to debate it.
They are protecting Musk at all costs, and they just made it crystal clear that they’ll do anything to shield him from accountability, and Elon knows it. He immediately took to Twitter laughing about it.
That means I just put a massive target on my back. MAGA and their billionaire allies like Musk won’t sit quietly after this. They’re going to come after me and everything we’re fighting for.
This fight isn’t going away. I promise you, I will not stop pushing to hold Musk accountable. But if we’re going to stand up to this kind of power, I need to know grassroots supporters like you have my back.
Thank you for being with me,
Gerry Connolly
------ FORWARDED MESSAGE ------
Hi everyone,
Gerry is at an Oversight Committee hearing right now fighting to hold Elon Musk accountable. He just moved to subpoena Musk to answer for his blatant corruption and malign influence over our government.
Republicans blocked it.
They tabled the motion because they don’t want the American people to see the truth: Musk and Trump are running the government like their personal business empire. From hijacking the Treasury Department’s payment system to gutting federal agencies, Musk is pulling the strings — and Trump is letting him.
This isn’t over. Gerry isn’t backing down. He’s demanding answers, and we need to show just how many people are standing with him.
Republicans might be willing to protect Musk, but we’re not. This fight is just beginning.
