He said he hoped to bring Musk to the Hill “to give people an opportunity to ask questions.” Others, like Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has said outright, echoing Musk’s sentiment: “Federal employees do not deserve their jobs“ — which will likely be played on loop by someone should Greene decide to run for Senate in a state with plenty of federal workers. “I think that people recognize that Elon Musk is an unelected richest man on the planet who’s cutting their Medicaid, cutting their Social Security, cutting their health care, causing problems at the FAA. “He bought his way into these Cabinet meetings, and it's just corruption, on its face.” The backdrop of all this is that Democrats plan to go on the warpath to attack Republicans’ plans to pass a budget resolution to extend the tax cuts Trump passed in 2017 and potentially slash Medicaid.
