On Tuesday, Twitter’s new CEO, Elon Musk, blasted “major Democrat Politicians” for allegedly coordinating attacks against him.
This attack came after Twitter user and Tesla investor Jason Debolt noted on the platform, “Elon wasn’t super political on Twitter until Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren started attacking him for no reason. Then others followed. Of all the dudes they could have attacked, they chose the guy most capable of helping the government solve problems. Strange choice.”
“Just shows that these far left officials don’t actually want to solve problems. They want to be perceived as being genuine about solving problems. Their language is hatred and division,” he added.

This tweet prompted Musk to respond with, “Several other major Democrat politicians attacked me too, all around the same time. It was coordinated. Outside of party leadership and independents like Manchin, they are essentially actors on the political stage, not directors or script writers.”

Over the years, Democrats like Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, who once used to admire Musk and his work with Tesla Motors, have recently sparred with the billionaire online over taxes and spending.
Similarly, far-left radical New York Congresswoman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has also attacked the billionaire for deciding to charge Twitter users $8 a month for a blue check “verification” mark. Musk responded by pointing out the hypocrisy that AOC sells merchandise like a $60 sweatshirt.
Several Democrat officials, including President Joe Biden, have threatened to investigate Musk following his purchase of Twitter and decision to restore free speech on the platform.
Furthermore, Democrat Senators like Chris Murphy of Connecticut have called the Biden administration to investigate Musk citing concerns over investment and influence from Saudi Arabia. To which Musk responded with pointing out the Democrats hypocrisy over their lack of interest in investigating crypto giant FTX which recently declared bankruptcy after losing over a billion dollars.
