Democrats Threaten Musk Probes Ahead of Nov. 4 Midterms as He Vows Counterattack

Summary
Senior Democrats are preparing investigations into Elon Musk’s businesses and past government work if they win one or both chambers in next week’s Nov. 4 midterms.
The planned scrutiny centers on alleged conflicts of interest, including Musk’s reported interference in Ukrainian military operations and what Democrats call the failed DOGE project.
Some inquiries are already underway: House Homeland Security members in September demanded Musk testify over claims DOGE overstated savings, and Ways and Means in January sought probes into alleged DOGE-related data theft from programs including Social Security.
Musk has answered with threats of his own, posting on X that he would find “who is really pulling the strings” and “come for them,” signaling a broader Washington clash if Democrats take power.
