Maxine Waters suggests ‘we don’t know’ scope of Musk’s influence over election

Published March 5, 2025 3:42pm ET



Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said she was “investigating” Elon Musk for interfering in the 2024 election.

It’s been four months since President Donald Trump won 312 electoral votes and the popular vote. Since 2001, the Democratic Party has only lost the popular vote twice: once this most recent cycle and another time in 2004. Meanwhile, former Vice President Kamala Harris outperformed her predecessor, former President Joe Biden, in only 58 counties and lost every swing state.
