A House committee hearing turned explosive when Connecticut Congressman John Larson blasted “genius” Elon Musk for not showing up to a hearing concerning the cuts he was overseeing through the Department of Government Efficiency.
The Connecticut Democrat criticized the committee’s GOP leadership, accusing it of following whatever President Donald Trump and Musk tell them to do, rather than acting independently. The hearing considered two resolutions put forth by Democrats, including one by Larson, asking for information into DOGE’s plans.
