Protests unfolded this past Tuesday evening as Democrat lawmakers gathered in front of the Treasury Department to voice their discontent with Elon Musk and his influence over various sectors, including finance and technology. Key figures such as Representatives Ayanna Pressley and LaMonica McIver led the charge, delivering fiery speeches that called for more aggressive steps against Musk’s perceived overreach.
In a series of heated remarks, Rep. LaMonica McIver underscored the intensity of their grievances, proclaiming, “We will not take this! We will fight back! And goddammit shut down the Senate! We are at war!” These words resonate with a growing faction of individuals who view Musk’s moves, especially concerning cryptocurrency and technological ventures, as overstepping boundaries that traditionally belong to government institutions.

Similarly, Ayanna Pressley didn’t hold back in her condemnation, urging her fellow Democrats and the broader public to reckon with Musk’s impact. “I want to say to our Republican colleagues — pay attention. We’re here today in the hopes that you will see the light. But if you do not see the light, we will bring the fire. Resist!” During her speech, Pressley took further jabs at Musk, labeling him a “Nazi nepo baby,” a term designed to highlight his privileged background and controversial associations.

Amid this backdrop of protests, Maxine Waters took the platform to express further disapproval, articulating, “We have got to tell Elon Musk, ‘Nobody elected your ass. Nobody told you you could get all of our private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge of the payments of this country.’”

Perhaps the most fervent denouncement came from Elizabeth Warren, who addressed what she perceives as an unwarranted consolidation of authority by Musk. Her words, delivered with impassioned conviction, were as follows: “Not one Democrat in America voted for Elon Musk, not one Republican in America voted for Elon Musk, not one independent in America voted for Elon Musk, not one libertarian in America voted for Elon Musk, dammit, not one vegetarian in America voted for Elon Musk, and yet, Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people.”
I guess the Democrats's new playbook is to scream about how no one elected Elon Musk.

Historically, Trump has shown a penchant for business leaders who disrupt traditional paradigms, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. Musk, with his forays into space exploration, electric vehicles, and financial technology, embodies such disruption. It’s conceivable that Trump’s supporters would endorse Musk’s drive, seeing him as a catalyst for change and advancement, resonating with Trump’s own ethos of challenging the status quo.
