Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said he has not been involved in conversations about whether former Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress.

Musk and President Donald Trump engaged in a public falling out Thursday over the Republican-backed “One Big Beautiful Bill” which is working its way through Congress. The tech billionaire during the spat accused Trump of being among those listed as a client of Jeffrey Epstein.

Despite the fiery end to the relationship, Jeffries said he has not been involved in discussions about whether Musk should testify before the House committees.

“I haven’t had conversations with members of the relevant committees, which presumably could include budget or ways and means or judiciary or oversight,” he said on Friday. “Right now we’re focused on killing the bill.”

Trump wrote via Truth Social Thursday he didn’t mind Musk “turning against me.” He and Musk had reportedly arranged a call Friday to make amends, according to Politico.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon said the dispute might be grounds for the federal government to seize Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX and launch an inquiry into his citizenship status.

“They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” Bannon said.

Meanwhile, in the Senate

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., didn’t hold back on how he felt his fellow Democrats were reacting to the Trump-Musk feud.

‘The Dems, we’ve been dumping all over Musk and vandalizing Teslas or whatever, and now, suddenly, we might be more back into him,’ the 55-year-old senator said.

Fetterman cautioned Democrats on letting Musk back into the Democratic Party.

“It wasn’t that long ago that Tesla was like the virtue-signaling kind of accessory for Dems, I would never want to vandalize Teslas, and the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ is wrong for America,” he said. “So, from my perspective, I’ve just tried to be consistent through that.”

The social media storm from Musk started with his dislike for the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and how much it would cost. Then he launched into personal attacks on the president.
