Democrats insist the Trump administration is withholding information about Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk’s conflict of interest as a government employee who owns companies that do business with the government.

Top Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, which typically conducts investigations of the executive branch, sent letters to the White House and several federal agencies on Thursday demanding Musk publicly disclose all details about his business.

In a letter to White House Counsel David Warrington, Democrat lawmakers claim Musk exploited his position with the Trump administration to financially advance his own business ventures with taxpayer dollars.

“In an unprecedented arrangement, President Donald Trump has bestowed expansive and unlawful authority on Mr. Musk, an unelected billionaire,” the letter states. “Mr. Musk is redirecting billions of taxpayer dollars to fund his own financial interests while slashing federal employees, programs, and services on which all Americans depend.”

“The Trump Administration has failed to make public Mr. Musk’s financial disclosure filings, hiding the true extent of his conflicts from the public,” the Democrats continued in their letter, which requested his financial disclosures as well as any White House determinations that they didn’t represent a conflict of interest.

Rep. Gerry Connolly, D–VA, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, sent a separate letter to federal agencies listing all of Musk’s contracts.

Connolly insisted the government explain “whether [Musk] had fully disclosed all connections, interactions, payments, and business with foreign governments and officials.”

On Monday, Connolly announced he will resign from his role on the House Oversight Committee amid his battle with esophageal cancer and would not seek reelection in Virginia’s 11^th District. He defeated Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, for the position in an internal election last December.  

Musk, President Trump and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt have repeatedly stated Musk has complied with all laws while exposing government fraud, waste and abuse.

But Democrats are hellbent on destroying the world’s richest man who risks his fortune by standing by Trump. As left-wing rag Huffington Post reports, “Elon Musk May Be Leaving Government, But Democrats Aren’t Done With Him.”

Musk’s tenure with DOGE as a special government employee is legally limited to 130 days.

In April, the embattled billionaire and Tesla titan announced he would dramatically reduce his role at DOGE as his government-slashing work resulted in lawsuits piling up, death threats flooding in, and Tesla’s showrooms burning.

“I’ll have to continue doing it for I think the remainder of the President’s term just to make sure the waste and fraud that we stopped doesn’t come roaring back, which it will do if it has the chance,” Musk said during a tense April 25 Tesla earnings call.

“I think I’ll continue to spend a day or two per week on government matters for as long as the President would like me to do so and so long as it would be useful,” he added. “But starting next month, I’ll be allocating far more of my time to Tesla.”

The announcement came as Tesla reported a gut-punching 71% drop in first-quarter profits, its showrooms scarred by arson and vandalism from leftist mobs enraged by Musk’s alliance with Trump.

Since he took the helm of DOGE, Tesla dealerships across the country have been torched, their windows smashed, and their vehicles defaced.

Polls reveal 59% of Democrats now shun Tesla, per Politico, tanking its stock by nearly 50% since December.

But the assaults don’t end with fire and fury. Musk has revealed a chilling reality: death threats have poured in, a sinister undercurrent to the left’s campaign.

The legal front is no less brutal. Since Musk endorsed Trump in 2024, he’s faced 47 lawsuits costing over $200 million in legal fees: 12 SEC suits alleging securities fraud over X posts, eight DOJ antitrust probes targeting Tesla and SpaceX, 10 NLRB complaints accusing Tesla of union-busting, nine environmental suits by green NGOs, and eight EEOC-driven civil rights claims.
