Dem on DOGE committee pounces on 'out of control' Musk's reported drug problem

Source: Raw Story

May 30, 2025 11:04AM ET


Elon Musk is “out of control” with his alleged drug use, and now House Democrats have filed a Civil Liability against Musk to hold him personally liable for the work he’s done at the Department of Government Efficiency, according to Congresswoman Melanie Stanbury (D-NM). The revelation came while she was speaking on Ana Cabrera Reports Friday morning.

First, Stanbury railed against Musk’s alleged drug use, which the New York Times first reported, saying, “If you observed his behavior over the last three and a half months, it's very obvious that he was completely out of control.”

“Just like, you know, other rich dudes who want to tinker with what they think are toys, this is not a joke,” Stanbury said. “This is the democracy that is our country and the American people's lives. So, you know, there's going to be very serious consequences, and we will hold Elon Musk accountable for the damages that he's done.”

She added, “Musk wreaked havoc on the federal government. And so it does not surprise me that it was being enhanced by, you know, substances that make you act crazy. But I think, you know, it's not a joke because he [has] literally shattered thousands of American lives. He's disrupted our entire federal government.”

Since, not so long ago, there were certain people making a really big deal about inaccurate statements of drug consumption while applying for weapon ownership...

Republican leadership said nothing.

REPUBLICANS are all responsible for the damage that has been done and the lasting damage that continues to be done. Just because Leon is gone doesn't mean you're off the hook. ALL of you will carry this your entire lives and for generations to come.

REPUBLICANS are responsible for one of the worst disasters in American history. ON PURPOSE, YOU IDIOTS.

Sadly for them, Red States will fair worse than the Blue States. Because for the most part, they are the drain on the government's budget that Doge has gone after. So, you will come to understand what it means to
FAFO.

The Republicans for decades have been focusing on low population, low information, low education, worker drones for just this moment in time and printed a manual if the opportunity presented itself to take advantage to disassemble and destroy our Government in totality.

We told you this would happen but you had an agenda that was more important than self preservation. That includes non voters and independents too STUPID to understand the consequences. Maybe, you haven't been affected yet. Rest assured, you will be.

But hey, be proud of your pseudo white Christian nationality while waiting in your bread lines, just like the Russians, after all, that's the Felon's big beautiful plan. And Putin's payback.

that would expose the head of DOGE to civil liability for damages resulting from the activity of DOGE found to be a violation of law:


"Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the special Government employee (as that term is defined in section 202(a) of title 18, United States Code) managing or otherwise in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (or any successor thereof) within the Executive Office of the President shall be liable for any claim against the Federal Government relating to activities of the Department, including claims brought as a result of violation of Federal labor laws, data privacy laws, threats to national or domestic security, Federal appropriations laws, or any other statutes."

As you can imagine, this legislation has zero chance of be enacted and even if we capture both the House and Senate in 2026, Trump would veto and there is no chance the veto would be overriden. It's merely performative legislation.
