Musk warns democrats against investigating his businesses if they win midterms

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk has warned Democrats against investigating his business interests and government activities if they gain control of Congress in November’s midterm elections.

According to France 24, Musk issued the warning Wednesday on X, responding to a Politico report detailing planned congressional investigations into alleged corruption and conflicts of interest.

“Live by the sword, die by the sword,” Musk wrote.

“Those who pick fights with me should understand that I will find out who is really pulling the strings and come for them, not just their puppets,” he added.

Musk, a major Republican donor and ally of President Donald Trump, previously led government spending cuts and maintains substantial federal contracts through SpaceX.

Democrats are considering investigations into his government role and business dealings if they secure congressional control.

“The sheer number of conflicts of interest are astounding,” Democratic lawmaker Zoe Lofgren saidThe November 3 elections will determine control of Congress and its investigative committees.
