Rep. Jasmine Crockett's Profane Criticism of Elon Musk Goes Viral

The Texas congresswoman's blunt two-word remark highlights tensions over Musk's role in federal budget cuts under the Trump administration.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told a reporter she would say 'F--- off' to Elon Musk when asked for a direct message to the billionaire.
The comment, made outside the Capitol, drew widespread attention online, with Democrats praising her bluntness and conservatives criticizing her tone.
Crockett has been a vocal critic of Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has implemented significant federal workforce reductions.
Musk's controversial role as a Trump adviser and DOGE head has polarized public opinion, with some supporting his focus on cutting government waste and others opposing the rapid downsizing of critical agencies.
The viral remark adds to Crockett's growing reputation for sharp rhetoric, reflecting broader political divides over the Trump administration's policies.
