Noise makers are really busy since Trump won the election.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said at least some of her colleagues on the other side of the aisle aren’t fans of Elon Musk. The tech billionaire and close ally of President Donald Trump is already playing a key role in the new administration.
“Can I tell you that Republicans want to see Elon go down?” she told MSNBC’s Alex Witt on Sunday. “I can. Now, will they come out publicly and say that? No, because they’re concerned about whether or not he’ll spend money in their next elections.”
Crockett recalled December’s continuing resolution to keep the government funded through March. After Republican and Democratic lawmakers reached a deal, Musk tried to tank it via Twitter.
“There were Republicans that silently, or in the background, were cheering us on,” she recalled. “And saying ‘this is wrong.’ Like they knew we had negotiated, and all of a sudden, this guy who’s not elected makes a tweet on Twitter.”
