Sen. Bernie Sanders has called for Elon Musk to testify before the Senate labor committee regarding his influence over labor policies, expressing skepticism about the nomination of Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor. Sanders asserts that the true decision-maker in labor issues is Musk, overshadowing the role of any cabinet officials. He emphasizes the critical need for a labor secretary who genuinely advocates for workers' rights amid economic disparities, contending that current dynamics render traditional nominations largely irrelevant.
"The labor secretary should be someone who protects workers' rights and the interests of working people, with tens of millions of workers subject to ‘starvation wages’..."
"Today, we are not voting on who the next Secretary of Labor is. The next Secretary of Labor... is Elon Musk. And let us understand that reality and not play along with this charade."
