House Democrats abruptly cancel Big Oil hearing where Elon Musk was scheduled to appear

Democrats canceled a House hearing scheduled for next week in which Twitter CEO Elon Musk was asked to testify about the spread of "climate disinformation" on social media.
Committee Democrats blamed the hearing cancellation Thursday on a miscommunication. They said leadership opted to hold a full committee hearing on Dec. 14 instead of the environment subcommittee hearing. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"In November, initial Subcommittee hearing invites were sent out prematurely that did not align with the Committee’s hearing calendar," a Democratic committee spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement. "In order to accommodate a December 14th full Committee hearing, the Committee made the decision to push the Subcommittee hearing shortly after the invites were sent."
