Dean Phillips criticized his party's relentless opposition to Elon Musk, suggesting that Democrats should instead collaborate with him to bolster their arguments. Appearing on CNN, Phillips expressed his dual concerns about Musk's influence in governance while recognizing the public's interest in his proposals, such as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He emphasized that Democrats are misplacing their focus on fighting Musk rather than leveraging his popularity and platform to address federal efficiency, warning that they risk being marginalized in the process.
Phillips argued that Democrats participating in Musk's efforts rather than opposing them would add more weight to their arguments.
He's quite popular. He has the largest platform in human history, which is, of course, Twitter/X, and I think we're missing the boat as Democrats.
The fact of the matter, he's quite popular. And Democrats are being steamrolled. And I'm deeply concerned about that.
Rather than so pathetically, frankly, try to combat something that clearly is a steamroller.
