[Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Publicly Calls for New Congress to Hold Musk Accountable] BlockBeats reports that on November 6th, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated on ABC's "The View" that she is urging the new Congress to immediately hold Elon Musk and others accountable after taking office in January. She accused them of "manipulating data in an attempt to influence policy" and emphasized that the government must take action and not let them get away with it. "People like Elon Musk, we need government action. I advocate holding these people accountable starting in January when the new Congress takes office. They cannot escape responsibility by manipulating data in an attempt to influence policy." Background: Musk previously donated approximately $290 million to Republican candidates and related causes in the 2024 election and spent approximately $470 million supporting the Republican Party in this midterm election cycle. After Trump's victory, he appointed Musk as a senior advisor and co-led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE, which was officially dissolved in July 2025). Democrats had previously planned an investigation into Musk's affairs, potentially involving issues such as conflicts of interest in federal contracts, data access and layoffs during DOGE, and the X platform's algorithm. The Trump administration has stated it would take measures to protect Musk if necessary (including potential pardon discussions), but presidential pardons primarily target federal criminal offenses and cannot directly prevent congressional oversight, subpoenas, or hearings. The new Congress is expected to be inaugurated in January 2027. At that time, Democratic-led committees (such as the House Oversight Committee) may initiate relevant hearings and document retrieval.
