Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) expressed her desire to see Elon Musk 'taken down' on her birthday, igniting controversy among MAGA figures. Although Crockett clarified that her intention was to promote non-violent protests in a livestream for the #TeslaTakedown movement, her comments led to accusations from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), claiming that Crockett was organizing political violence. This highlights the tension within Congress over political expressions related to activism and social media's role in shaping narratives around such statements.
I am truly here for very selfish reasons, starting with on March 29, it's my birthday and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down, yes! I have learned as I've served on the DOGE Oversight Committee that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now and that language is money.
Obviously, everything that I am promoting is non-violent, Crockett said, calling for people to engage in protests.
A Member of Congress is organizing political violence and terrorism, Greene wrote in an X post where she tagged Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
