Summary

House Republicans blocked a Democratic effort to subpoena Elon Musk over his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its sweeping changes to federal agencies.

Democrats questioned Musk’s authority to restructure agencies, fire employees, and access federal databases. Musk, classified as a “special government employee,” has led controversial initiatives, including federal employee buyouts.

Republicans argued Democrats could have invited Musk voluntarily, while Chair James Comer defended DOGE’s actions as necessary reform.
