Elon Musk Wages New Capitol Hill War With Blitz of Posts

Musk said House Democrats should be voted out of office for opposing a bill that domestic violence groups say could get women deported for defending themselves against their abusers.

MAGA billionaire Elon Musk has called on Americans to kick out over 150 Democratic House legislators who voted against a Republican bill that critics said could lead to the deportation of sexual assault survivors.

In a series of tweets posted late Saturday night, the Tesla CEO and confidant of President-elect Donald Trump expressed fury at House members who voted nay in September 2024 on the “Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act” put forward by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC).

What Musk left out of his latest attack, trained on Democrats, is that opponents of Mace’s legislation said, despite its name, the bill won’t actually do anything and may end up punishing victims of domestic and sexual violence.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who voted nay, accused Mace of putting forward “purely a messaging bill,” invoking a term for legislation introduced for political reasons to rile up voters and that either has little chance of passing or does little to address the issue it raises.

It's running 2 months slow.

4. Musk's mission is to create hot button issues,...

..... that the RepubliCAN'T Party can exploit at will. Capturing media attention or creating a media diversion away from a problematic issue - is the name of the game.

Flood the zone with manufactured irrelevancies so you can exploit the narrative to your favor and explicitly to your benefits. As you seek to tear down and decimate your political opponents.

Vanquish the enemy into irrelevency.

5. Elon, one thing that I learned in art school, "less is more"

There’s also the story of the boy who cried wolf. I don’t know if you got that one in your childhood or not. Nobody’s gonna want to read any of this shit anymore.

6. Musk must be bored

7. Musk is a menace to society.

I wish his citizenship was stripped and he was deported.
