The Democratic Party’s war on Elon Musk escalated dramatically this weekend as Rep. Greg Casar, a far-left progressive congressman and rising star among the radical wing of the party, issued a direct threat to Musk during an MSNBC interview—laying out a three-step plan to “hold him accountable” for daring to challenge the federal bureaucracy.
Casar, visibly irritated by Musk’s influence and his unfiltered presence on social media, accused the tech mogul of having “purchased the Trump presidency” and “running the federal government behind closed doors”—with no evidence to support such claims.
“Elon Musk isn’t gone,” Casar said. “His real innovation was bragging about running the government in public.”
A Thinly Veiled Threat
Casar’s remarks became especially chilling as he unveiled his plan to go after Musk, explicitly threatening criminal investigation and prosecution:
-
“We need to hold him accountable.”
-
“Everyone needs to know it’s illegal for Elon Musk to stay a federal employee past May 30th.”
-
“We’re not going to go easy on this guy if we retake the majority.”
He then added,
“We can use our investigative and subpoena power to look into Musk or any other billionaire who has broken any criminal laws, enriching themselves using the power of the White House.”
The not-so-subtle implication? If Democrats regain full control of Congress, Musk will be targeted for political retribution.
Why the Musk Panic?
Since taking control of Twitter (now X), Elon Musk has used his platform to expose censorship, challenge federal overreach, and spotlight government abuse of power—most notably through the Twitter Files, which documented deep ties between intelligence agencies and tech companies.
His vocal support for limited government, free speech, and transparency has made him public enemy number one for the modern Democratic Party.
Conclusion: Power Protects Itself
Rep. Casar’s comments weren’t just a political shot—they were a warning shot. The message is clear: challenge the regime, and the regime will come for you.
Elon Musk pulled back the curtain. Now they want the lights turned off—and the messenger silenced.
The American people should ask themselves: If they can threaten Elon Musk for speaking truth, what could they do to you?
