Elon Musk Subpoena Vote Fails After Key Democrats Miss Procedural Vote

Rep. Ro Khanna, absent during the vote, calls for a revote and criticizes Musk's actions as unconstitutional.

The House Oversight Committee vote to subpoena Elon Musk failed 19-20 after several Democrats, including Rep. Ro Khanna, were absent.
Musk's federal task force, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been accused of overstepping its authority and undermining federal institutions.
Rep. Khanna stated he missed the vote due to a lack of notice and a meeting with diplomats, emphasizing he would have voted in favor of the subpoena.
Khanna criticized Musk's actions as unconstitutional and called for a revote with proper notice for all lawmakers.
The failed vote sparked backlash on social media, with critics accusing Khanna and other absent Democrats of failing to hold Musk accountable.
