When asked if one of those hearings could feature Musk himself, Greene suggested that was not in the works.
"I think Democrats want Elon Musk in front of the committee so they can berate him, attack him and harass him," Greene said. "Right now, President Trump, myself and many others really want Elon Musk to stay focused on what he's doing, and that is rooting out the waste, fraud and abuse that has continued on for years within the federal government agencies."
She said her committee would release a report "in a matter of days" on its findings from its first hearing, which focused on government spending through the lens of the $36 trillion national debt.

"I don't think it's going to win with the American people," Cloud told Fox News Digital. "I think what they'll see is that the American people voted for what is happening right now, and they want to see dramatic change. They know that the federal government is not working for their benefit, and want to see a major course correction."
The DOGE subcommittee operates under the House Oversight Committee. It's the first committee gavel for Greene.
