In yet another incident in which one of the woke Swamp politicians freaked out about the Department of Government Efficiency’s attempts to root out fraud, waste, and corruption from federal spending, far-left Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) went on the attack against former DOGE head Elon Musk, obliquely threatening him with jail time.
As background, because Mr. Musk was only a special government employee rather than in a confirmed position, his time as the head of DOGE had to draw to a close, and he announced his departure on May 28. It was in response to that post on X in which he commented on leaving that Liz Warren threatened him with jail time, much as Sen. Klobuchar did months ago.
In his post announcing his departure from his role as wasteful spending-hunting DOGE head in the Trump Administration, Mr. Musk said, “As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending.”
Continuing, Elon said that the DOGE mission would, despite his departure, remain an ever-stronger force because its general outlook will become a way of life within the government, saying, “The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
It was to that post that Sen. Warren replied, doing so with an angry quote tweet in which she insinuated that she would do her best to ensure Mr. Musk faces criminal charges for what he did as DOGE head, writing, “Good riddance — but Musk isn’t off the hook for his chaos and corruption. We must hold him accountable.”
Responding, commenters sounded off on Sen. Warren. One such furious commenter, for example, wrote, “Senator, Go f*ck yourself. You’ve been in congress for decades and didn’t achieve anything. You added to the waste and fraud. You’ve done nothing for the American people, ever. Not once. You’re pathetic. Hold your head in shame.”
Another commenter asked why Congress has allowed obviously fraudulent and wasteful spending to continue unabated for so long, writing, “The real question is: why did Congress approve wasteful spending for years—and why is there no effective oversight of Congress? You can spin the same tired narrative, but you’ve all been exposed as corrupt. The lack of self-awareness is almost pathetic.”

Yet another commenter turned Sen. Warren’s accusation of corruption against Mr. Musk back on her, alleging that the Democratic Party rather than Elon is characterized by corruption, writing, “No, Elizabeth…. Musk uncovered corruption. You and your party are corrupt. You and your party cause all the chaos. Why on election day America said “good riddance” to your party. Next, will be “good riddance” to you. You do nothing but bad mouth Trump. All you have!”
Still another commenter accused Warren of only being against Musk because he shut off the money tap, saying, “Oh stop throwing around words just because you’re an old, crabby, bought and paid for, leftist. You just didn’t like him exposing your different cash cows. Nothing will come from you, because you’ll find nothing to expose him for. Just stop.”
