Congresswoman Maxine Waters has accused Elon Musk of potential election interference in the 2024 U.S. presidential election[1][3]. In a video posted on X, Waters stated that the full extent of Musk's actions with his "high technology ass" is unknown, and she vowed to continue investigating his alleged involvement in the election[3]. Waters has been a vocal critic of Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a program created by President Trump to reduce federal spending[3]. She expressed concern about DOGE's announcement to terminate over 80,000 Veterans Affairs employees and delivered a letter to the HUD Secretary requesting an investigation into staff terminations and private corporations working with DOGE[3]. On March 1, Waters spoke at a protest in Hawthorne, California, against Musk's involvement in the White House[3]. She accused Musk of buying his way into the presidency by funding Trump's campaign and claimed that Trump is allowing Musk to do as he pleases[3]. Waters also mentioned ongoing lawsuits against Musk, alleging that he has profited from numerous government contracts[3]. Waters' accusations highlight the growing tension between some lawmakers and Musk's increasing influence in government affairs, particularly through his role in DOGE and his alleged impact on the 2024 election[1][3].
