House Democrat pressures NASA to restrict DOGE access over SpaceX conflict

Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY), the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, is questioning Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency’s access to the NASA headquarters.

Musk owns a space exploration company, SpaceX, which contracts billions of dollars with NASA, an agency he has been critical of in the past. Meng sent a letter to NASA’s acting Administrator Janet Petro, urging her to revoke Musk and DOGE’s access to NASA’s headquarters.
