Several Democratic lawmakers are facing backlash for their respective tirades against Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk, in what has been described as violent and “unhinged” rhetoric against the multi-billionaire. Various high-ranking Democrats appeared outside the Treasury Department, where they protested Musk.
With DOGE under his direction, Musk has been adamant about enacting President Donald Trump’s agenda of downsizing the United States government and reducing wasteful spending. Lawmakers such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and others gathered to protest Musk.
Outright calling Musk a Nazi, Rep. Pressley claimed, “Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby, a godless lawless billionaire, who no one elected.” She added, “Elon, this is the American people. This is not your trashy Cybertruck that you can just dismantle, pick apart, and sell the pieces of.” Suggesting liberal activism will spill onto the “streets,” she added, “We will see you in the court, in Congress, in the streets.”
Sen. Warren stated, “Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people.” She emphasized, “We are here to fight back.” Rep. Crockett offered volatile remarks, stating, “We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your a–es, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like, and this ain’t it.”
Chuck Schumer claimed that Musk’s leadership at DOGE is “taking away everything we have.” Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) said, “God d—it shut down the Senate!” before exclaiming, “WE ARE AT WAR!” The emphatic commentary quickly drew criticism from conservatives on social media, alarmed by the hostile rhetoric.
Conservative commentator Greg Price shared a compilation of the remarks on X, writing, “Here is a supercut of Democrat members of Congress speaking outside the Treasury Department today. These people are totally sane…” Boiling Point Live similarly wrote, “Unhinged Democrats Protest In Front of Treasury, Attack Musk, Call For Violence.”
Calling for the lawmakers to be investigated for their comments, popular political commentator Nick Sortor wrote, “Dem. Rep. Ayanna Pressley calls for “AGITATION IN THE STREETS” before calling Elon Musk a “NAZl NEPO BABY.” THIS IS A CALL FOR VIOLENCE! The DOJ MUST investigate this!” Various others agreed with this sentiment in the comments section.

Paul A. Szypula similarly wrote that Rep. Pressley should face consequences for her statements about Musk. “Rep. Ayanna Pressley just called for confrontations “in the streets.” She added that @elonmusk is a “N*zi nepo-baby.” Democrat lawmakers are losing their minds now that their USAID scam is exposed. Pressley needs to be censured for inciting violence,” he said.
Musk recently addressed backlash from Chuck Schumer on X, writing, “He’s mad that @DOGE is dismantling the radical-left shadow government in full view of the public. This is our ONE CHANCE to return POWER to the PEOPLE from an unelected BUREAUcracy back to DEMOcracy!! Only with the support of YOU can this succeed. Thank you, unknown soldiers.”
