as posted by the channel

There is growing concern in the US over Elon Musk's role in federal spending decisions. US President Trump has empowered Musk and his team to make drastic cuts. In the last two weeks, he's shuttered several government programs and moved to close the US Agency for International Development.

Democrats say the situation is dangerous, unconstitutional and a power grab.
