Ranting, she threatened Musk with “unprecedented organizing, mobilizing, [and] agitating,” adding, “We will see you in the courts, in Congress, in the streets…Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby!” Despite her crazed demeanor, the crowd erupted in applause.
Reacting with her deranged screed, Rep. Jasmine Crockett addressed the same crowd. She whined, “We are not going to sit around while you go and desecrate our constitution. We are going to be in your face and on your a*ses!”
Despite Pressley’s ranting, Democrats supported her speech. In response, Rep. Maxwell Frost was quoted as saying of Elon Musk, “He has access to all our information, our Social Security numbers, the federal payment system. What’s going to stop him from stealing taxpayer money?”
Building on this point, Sen. Chuck Schumer said, “We cannot allow Elon Musk and a small group of people to secretly, behind closed doors, take away our privacy, take away our dollars, take away everything we have.”
When a clip of the incident was posted to X, formerly Twitter, conservatives were enraged by Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s actions. One such comment asked, “Where are the Capitol Police? Shouldn’t they be tear gassing and beating this crowd with clubs? Oh… it’s their Mostly Peaceful Insurrection? M’kay…”
Noting the apparent hypocrisy, one user posted, “Sounds to me like hands got caught in the massive cookie jar. They are trembling…sugar is a drug…these folks are hurting! Well your hands are not Clean people!! LOL I simply Love IT! Dirty work Filthy hands! Your words mean nothing! Blah Blah Blah.”
Speculating on the likelihood of wider political violence, one comment read, “I don’t think even Soros will back this losing bunch. He’s too busy covering his own *ss. Who will pay for the busses and signs, piles of bricks, Molotov cocktails? Who is gonna throw them with no payment? You’ve left Antifa to starve. They ain’t coming back.”

Rounding out the comments, one user noticed that the Democrats were flailing. They said, ” They’re desperate..they have no real solutions to any problems & they’re angry as hell that Trump, his administration & Elon are making a huge positive difference with answers in just 2 weeks & America is excited!🇺🇸👍and democrats have failed!!”
