Elon Musk on the conservative Republican 17,000-page report on the “weaponization” of the federal government with a one-word response.
“Wow,” the technology billionaire and close ally of Donald Trump wrote on X on Friday about the release of the House of Representatives subcommittee report, sharing an article with his approximately 200 million followers.
On Friday, the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released its final report on its findings on what it calls the Biden-Harris administration’s “weaponized federal government.”
According to the subcommittee led by far-right Republican Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio, the investigation uncovered numerous cases in which the government was used as a weapon against Americans.
The report highlighted a series of findings as the subcommittee conducted its work during the 118th Congress.
It argues that there is a “two-tiered system of government” and accuses the Biden administration of making that system “tougher.”

The subcommittee wrote that its mission has been to “protect and strengthen the fundamental rights of the American people.”
“By investigating, exposing, and documenting executive misconduct, the Select Subcommittee has taken important steps to ensure that the federal government no longer works against the American people,” the report claimed.
The report said the work is “not completed” but a “necessary first step.”
It says that during the Biden administration, multiple agencies, including the White House, engaged in a “massive censorship campaign against so-called mis, dis or bad information.”
It includes findings that the federal government and law enforcement collaborated with academics, nonprofits and other private entities to censor online speech.

Among the examples it gave was Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg writing a letter to the subcommittee in August saying the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured his team to remove certain COVID-19 content censor.
Zuckerberg wrote that it was ultimately Meta’s decision whether or not to remove the content, but he wrote that he believed the government pressure was wrong.
The subcommittee also examined what it called the weaponization of federal law enforcement resources.
According to the report, many FBI whistleblowers have revealed examples of ‘Waste, Fraud, and Abuse at the FBI” to the subcommittee.
“When these whistleblowers came forward, the Bureau brutally retaliated against many of them for breaking ranks. They were suspended without pay, prevented from seeking outside employment and even purged of suspected disloyal employees,” the report said.
The report is divided into four parts and comprises a total of 17,000 pages, including the findings via the appendix, including hearing lists and transcripts.
