Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) on Wednesday let loose on Republicans for giving X owner Elon Musk a pass when it comes to government waste.
During a House Department of Government Efficiency hearing, Casar slammed Musk and Trump for firing inspectors general who have traditionally overseen internal investigations into executive branch offices.
What's more, Casar argued that this was particularly dangerous given the massive government contracts that Musk's company SpaceX has with the federal government.
"You know what Elon Musk doesn't seem to be looking into?" he asked rhetorically. "His own contracts!"

Casar then claimed that Musk is making $8 million per day due to his contracts with the federal government, which is a massive conflict of interest with his stated goal of making the government run more smoothly.
He then pointed out that this stands in stark contrast to the mere $65 a day that retirees on Social Security receive from the federal government.
"We're not looking into Elon Musk's $8 million a day!" he charged. "This subcommittee, chaired by Marjorie Taylor Greene and the House Republicans, is looking into your grandmother's $65 a day!"
