Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia slammed Elon Musk at the first Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Subcommittee hearing on Wednesday.
The Democratic representative mocked President Donald Trump’s “special government employee.” He also took aim at MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her out for sharing nude images of former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, during a 2023 House Oversight Committee hearing.

“In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a d--- pic in our Oversight Congressional Hearing, so I thought I’d bring one as well,” he said, pointing at a picture of Musk.
“Now this of course we know is President Elon Musk. He’s also the world’s richest man. He was the biggest political donor in the last election. He has billions of dollars in conflicts of interest, and we know he’s leading a power grab—also abided by and encouraged by Donald Trump and of course the Chairwoman, Congresswoman Greene,” Garcia added.
Greene chairs the DOGE subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee, which, according to her, is designed to “fight the war on waste shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the DOGE team.”
During the fiery hearing on improper payments and fraud, Democrats focused on Musk and his actions as DOGE boss.
During his time, Garcia ripped the tech billionaire’s DOGE initiative apart, saying lawmakers “should in no way be cooperating with House Republicans,” especially with regard to cutting the Department of Education.
“This committee wants to empower the richest person in the world to hurt people so they can take all of this money that they ‘want to save’ and give it to themselves, their companies, and their billionaire friends. That is the attack that is happening in this committee and across this country, and it’s important that we call it out,” the congressman argued.
“We also know of course that Elon Musk is sending his unqualified DOGE staff to carry out this agenda across all these agencies. And in some cases, actually teenage staffers. No accountability, no experience, and problematic records. They’re trying to rob you, and they’re probably a minor,” he said.
