Can Democrats hold Musk accountable?

Gibney asks if Democrats will investigate

Director Alex Gibney wants to know if a Democratic Congress will conduct tough investigations into Elon Musk's business practices, or if political money will prevent accountability.

“Is our political system capable, assuming the Democrats win the House and the Senate, of ignoring the power of money … to hold really tough investigations?”

Musk spent four hundred seventy four million on Republicans

Gibney notes Musk donated more than four hundred seventy four million dollars to Republican political groups this election cycle, suggesting this spending may have motivated his political engagement.

Democrats won Texas races Musk opposed

James Talrico won his Texas Senate race and Gina Hinojosa was elected governor, among the first Democrats to win Texas statewide elections in more than three decades.

Gibney says Musk's extraordinary wealth means dropping five hundred million dollars on an election means nothing to him, though much of his money is tied up in company stock.

“The question is: What if that stock begins to fall?”
