Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) had a blunt two-word message for Elon Musk on Tuesday ― and one of the words began with the letter “F.”
A person working for the anti-Donald Trump activist group Call To Activism asked the Congress member what she would say to Musk if she could talk with him directly.
As seen in the clip below, Crockett didn’t pull any punches and simply said what was on her mind: “Fuck off.”
Crockett didn’t offer up a statement explaining exactly why Musk should do what she suggested in the clip above, but chances are she’s not happy with the haphazard way his Department of Government Efficiency is firing federal employees at the risk of hurting critical federal services. The lawmaker has frequently called out the Tesla CEO, saying DOGE is stripping jobs from Americans and is “nothing more than a money grab” for Musk.
Some Musk fanboys clutched their pearls at Crockett’s language even though the billionaire himself has used it: In November 2023, for example, he told companies that have paused ad buys on X to “go fuck” themselves.
Musk hadn’t commented on Crockett’s critique as of Tuesday afternoon. However, plenty of others did, and many considered her comment to be quite eloquent:
Some people found Crockett’s blunt response refreshing compared to the dispassionate, policy-centered responses by top Democrats like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
