Elon Musk recently criticized Senator Todd Young for his stance on Tulsi Gabbard's potential nomination as Director of National Intelligence. Musk referred to Young as a 'deep state puppet' but later retracted this statement after a personal conversation with the senator. In his follow-up post on X, Musk praised Young and expressed confidence in his ability to support efforts to shift power from the bureaucratic structure back to the electorate. Young’s vote is crucial for Gabbard’s nomination, with implications for her candidacy depending on his position among other senators.
I stand corrected. Senator Young will be a great ally in restoring power to the people from the vast, unelected bureaucracy.
Musk had blasted Young over his reported misgivings about Tulsi Gabbard becoming Director of National Intelligence.
Musk called Young a deep state puppet, and added it was very weird that he voted for roughly two-thirds of former President Joe Biden's nominees.
Young can singlehandedly end Gabbard's bid to become the next DNI if he were to vote no on her nomination in the Senate Intelligence Committee.
