    I don't see any specific Schumer threats in the news, certainly not
    against Musk. Any majority party in the Senate has subpoena power and
    oversight responsibility.

    It's implied:

    https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-7-1/ALDE_00013657/['third','amendment']

    Before you leap on that word, the 'implication' is backed up by
    precedent and practice.

    "Although Supreme Court decisions in this area are limited, they
    illuminate the basic constitutional foundation of Congress’s
    investigatory power and establish key legal limitations on its exercise.
    The Court’s early jurisprudence began with a focus on establishing the
    source of the investigatory power before considering the power’s
    scope.12 In that vein, the Court established that the authority to
    conduct investigations was implied from the legislative power vested in Congress by Article I of the Constitution, but only to the extent that
    an inquiry actually served a legislative purpose.13 By the mid-twentieth century, judicial recognition of the investigatory power had been well established, and the Court’s focus shifted to legal limitations on congressional inquiries, generally in the context of the tension between congressional investigations and the individual rights of private citizens."

    Schumer's threat from his presser are just the first step in his warning that he is about to abuse his power.

    It's not a threat to say that Senate committees have subpoena power, and
    you aren't condemning McCarthy for actual threats of investigation.

    limitations on congressional investigations see CRS Report RL30240, Congressional Oversight Manual, by Christopher M. Davis et al.

    And so on. The context you say you want was just a short scroll down. Of course, that assumes you figured out how to get to the page.

    https://people.howstuffworks.com/congressional-investigations.htm

    "Many of the probes — including some of the famous ones, such as the Watergate hearings of the mid-1970s — involve actions of the executive branch, in keeping with Congress's role as a check-and-balance against presidential power. But legislators have investigated plenty of problems
    and controversies in the private sector as well, ranging from the
    sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and rigged television quiz shows in the
    1950s to the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing substances
    in Major League Baseball in the mid-2000s."

    Relatively recent investigations: drug prices, the Washington
    Commanders, Wells Fargo, etc.

    Yes, there's a legal basis.

    Corporation oversight? Where is that in the
    constitution?
    It's implied:

    https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-7-1/ALDE_00013657/['third','amendment']

    Page not found.

    Works for me. Let me guess: you clicked and gave up without
    trying to paste it. Fortunately for you, I quoted.

    I clicked it...which is far more than you'll do most of the
    time.
    Lazy and looking to evade seeing what is presented to you.
    But what do you know I find. It affirms what I said.

    Although the power of inquiry was not expressly provided for in
    the Constitution, it has nonetheless been acknowledged

    Lacking context....acknowledged by whom and under what circumstances
    and limitations.
    Dude. Learn to work the links and footnotes:

    2See McGrain v. Daugherty, 273 U.S. 135, 174 (1927) (We are of opinion
    that the power of inquiry—with process to enforce it—is an essential and
    appropriate auxiliary to the legislative function.).

    1927 ruling is going to be relevant to Congress investigating a private company
    because they're undoing egregious censorship on the internet?

    Now that's funny.
    I guess you don't cotton to that Originalism

    You're pointing to court cases and then blathering about Originalism.

    How disconnected internally can you be?

    I guess you don't understand either.

    How disconnected internally can you be?

    Originalism, precedent, stare decisis. There's no contradiction or disconnection there.
