Senator calls Musk a ‘d***’ after he asked federal workers to defend their jobs

Senator Patty Murray criticized Musk, stating that his views on government spending are flawed and not a 'conspiracy' as he suggested.
Musk defended his request, claiming it was a 'very basic pulse check' and a 'trivial task.
