"Pushing legislative strategies to attack or block Musk's wealth isn't just healthy for our democracy, it also makes for smart politics."
It's a good read from The Intercept, and one way to fight back.

Unfortunately the Dems are absolutely spineless and will never do it.

They are too beholden to their rich donors to be of ANY good. Sadly.

Hilarious.... the guy we are paying out 8 million dollars a day to in Gov contracts and loans, who is not an Auditor, is Auditing US.
And he's doing what VC Venture Capitalist companies do in the Silicon Valley all the time; going in and breaking ----, and worrying about the damage he causes later. If ever.
He could have been vetted by Trump's own freaking Killer Klown Kongress in a couple of days, but NOOOOO... he has to be made an unvetted Spec Assist to the Liar in Chief, and who does all his dirty werk while the actual appointed Agency Managers... GOV EMPLOYEES report to him
And dumbass Republicans keep repeating the same stupid Red Herring..."But we need reform!".
Probably so, but not like this, and not by this Oligarch.

They should do it! Just get those astronauts home from the ISS first.

The dems, especially those in the senate, like to claim that they're doing all that they can to stop Trump/Musk. They are putting on a show but that's all their actions amount to. So far, only one dem, Brian Schatz, has said that he will pull a Tuberville and hold up some of Trump's State Department nominees. Trump has recently decapitated the military leadership of the Pentagon and will have to nominate replacements. More democrat(s) need to step up and pull a Tuberville and prevent those nominations from moving forward.
