Progressive Democrats accused Donald Trump and Elon Musk of orchestrating a ā€œconstitutional crisisā€ after Musk moved to shut down USAID and gained access to a federal payment system.

Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that Musk’s involvement could trigger financial instability, while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it a ā€œplutocratic coup.ā€
