Musk Criticized by Democratic Congresswoman for Interfering in Congressional Affairs, Questioning Power Distribution!
On December 21, a video on the social platform X showed that during a tense U.S. House of Representatives meeting, Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro publicly criticized Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk. DeLauro accused Musk of overstepping his business domain and inappropriately 'interfering' with the core of the American system—Congress affairs—and questioned, 'Who is really in charge?'
DeLauro's remarks came after a recent series of events that raised public concern over whether private enterprise leaders excessively influence the public policy-making process. As a veteran congresswoman with a long-standing focus on economic policy and social welfare issues, DeLauro emphasized the importance of congressional independence and democratic procedures. She pointed out that while individuals have the right to express their views, when such expressions translate into concrete interference with the functioning of the legislative body, they touch upon the principle of separation of powers guaranteed by the Constitution.
