Dozens of House Democrats are demanding that Trump confirms that Elon Musk is planning to leave his role in the administration by May 30th.
A group of 77 lawmakers, led by “progressive champion” Rep. Greg Casar, sent a letter to Trump on Wednesday, reminding him that Musk can only serve in his role as a special government employee for 130 days.
“Considering the repeated violations of the law by Musk and your administration, we demand an immediate public statement from your administration making clear that Musk will resign and surrender all decision making authority, as required by law, by May 30th,” they wrote.
“In his short time in government, Elon Musk has done enormous harm to working Americans,” they continued, adding, “While millions of Americans are suffering, Musk is continuing to enrich himself and break ethics laws.”
As expected, those on the Left rely heavily on fearmongering when things aren’t going their way. Even though Musk’s time so far in the federal government as head of DOGE has been seen by some as “controversial,” he’s played a pivotal role in helping the Trump administration slash trillions of dollars in wasteful government spending.
Hopefully after Musk wraps up his DOGE work in the allotted 130-day period, he can remain a close friend and advisor to the Trump administration!
