Elon Musk Responds to Kara Swisher's Warning of Possible Probes if Democrats Win Congress
Technology journalist Kara Swisher warned that Elon Musk could face renewed investigations if Democrats regain control of the US Congress, citing his close ties to former President Donald Trump and alleged government support during Trump's administration. Swisher suggested Musk might be scrutinized heavily, especially if Kamala Harris were president. Musk dismissed these claims on social media, responding with a phrase implying acceptance of potential consequences. Both sources report on the political context and Musk's reactions without asserting investigative outcomes.
