Dem Senators Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Richard Blumenthal, Adam Schiff and Chris Van Hollen have sent Attorney General Pam Bondi a letter asking whether Ketamine Brain is using his post as a “special government employee” or whatever the fuck he’s calling himself to pressure advertisers who ghosted on Twitter after his white nationalist heel turn, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The letter, which warns “The apparent attempt to strong-arm the government to advance his business dealings could violate federal ethics laws and, depending on the specific facts, the federal extortion statute,” hasn’t been made public yet, and probably went into the shredder judging by the DOJ’s response to the Journal. “At President Trump’s direction, Elon Musk and DOGE are saving historic amounts of taxpayer money from being spent on unserious bureaucratic pet projects – it comes as no surprise that Democrats are upset with him,” they wrote rather than addressing the accusations that Musk extorted Amazon, Apple, Verizon, and other brands into buying ads again.
