Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders called for a Senate investigation into Elon Musk’s DOGE and urged Musk’s testimony, citing concerns over mass firings and agency dismantling.
He warned that Musk, not Trump’s cabinet, was effectively running the government. The call came as Trump clarified that cabinet secretaries—not Musk—had final decision-making authority.
Musk acknowledged DOGE’s missteps but remained involved. DOGE has faced criticism for reckless firings, affecting critical government functions.
Sanders insists Congress must hold Musk accountable for his unprecedented influence over federal operations.

Yes but will they? The story so far doesn't seem to point in that direction.

Can you imagine fElon having to sit for a session as long as Hillary Clinton did? When the right had their stupid bullshit grievances over BENGHAZZZZZZZIIIII!!1111 and questioned her for 11 fucking hours over a total nothingburger?
Given what fElon has been up to, he should be getting grilled for many, many 11 hour sessions over the course of weeks/months.

Can you really just subpoena Musk? I thought you have to impeach or something like that when you're dealing with the shadow president.

It's probably double secret impeachment.
