Why I voted to subpoena Elon Musk and how we can use this opportunity to block the Republican budget bill and stop their chaotic economic policy
I have NEVER said we should invite Elon Musk into a position of power in the Democratic Party.
I have always said Elon Musk must be held accountable, which is why I voted to subpoena him yesterday. Republicans killed that.
Encouraging Elon to keep calling out chaotic Republican party economic policies and mobilizing support to kill a bill that kicks 13 million people off their healthcare is a strategy worth pursuing.
Increasingly sidelining and isolating Elon in an effort to neutralize his spending against Democrats in 2026 is worth pursuing.
Making sure Elon and tech folks are putting out strong pushback calling out the blanket tariffs, the Trump bill, the revocation of clean energy tax credits, and attacks on international students rather than attacking Democrats is worth pursuing.
I don't take PAC money and I have a bill to ban all Super PACs. I have never taken a dime from Elon.
I have NEVER said we should invite him into a position of power in the Democratic Party. Those saying so are misguiding people.
I have just said that we should never close off dialogue with anyone, even if we disagree with them on many issues. The country could do with more open dialogue.
The country will be better served if this cruel budget bill is killed, and I will continue to work every single day to have the hard conversations that will bring a 20 year progressive majority to this country to continue the work of progressive visionary Bernie Sanders.
Medicare for All.
Taxing the Billionaires.
Ending corruption.
Banning Super PACs.
Protecting free speech.
Building things better and faster.
Stopping chaotic economic policy.
Ushering in an era of new economic patriotism where we put Silicon Valley in service of America, not America in the service of Silicon Valley.
THAT is worth pursuing.
Congressman: pull EM in with a subpoena. Use the document Elisabeth Warren created that documents all of his crimes. Get it in the congressional record. Make him accountable for every single one.
If he doesn’t show up, do the hearing anyway and put out a warrant for his arrest.
Stop being so nice to the ppl who have pillaged this country. Show the same disregard to them bc that’s the only language they understand. Be tougher on these criminals, don’t give them an inch. They’re criminals and should be treated like they’re on borrowed time before they’re convicted and thrown into prison.
We Americans are so sick of watching our elected officials either committing crimes daily or covering up for them. It’s time you and the D’s take extreme (for you guys) action!! Get rid of these criminals and put them in prison where they belong.
Elon became a Republican due to his obsession with trolling and receiving attention which he got from the online right and got fed years of covid era right wing online slop. His own biographer said that his kid's gender transition pushed him to blame the "woke mind virus" for all social ills. He is not coming back to our coalition. He has killed millions of third world kids and mothers.
