Rep. Val Hoyle (D-OR) announced her resignation from the House Delivering Outstanding Government Efficiency (DOGE) Caucus, citing concerns over Elon Musk's actions and influence on the government. She expressed that the intended bipartisan efforts were unfeasible due to Musk's disruptive behavior, which she likened to throwing dynamite through a window during home repairs. Hoyle criticized former President Trump for empowering Musk, calling it disturbing to have an unelected billionaire overseeing government efficiency while undermining public services relied upon by citizens.
"I don't see how we can do this work when Elon Musk is blowing things up... It's like trying to replace your roof when someone is throwing dynamite through the window into your living room."
"President Trump handed over the keys to the White House, to the Treasury, to government, to an unelected billionaire, and you know, it's, quite frankly, very disturbing."
"It is impossible for us to do that important work when unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his lackeys are set on burning down the government and the law to line his own pockets..."
"It is impossible to fix the system when Elon Musk is actively breaking it, so I have made the decision to leave."
