Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters expressed outrage Tuesday at a rally in Washington, D.C., criticizing President Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk over Musk’s access to Treasury Department information.
Waters accused Musk of overstepping his boundaries, stating that he had no right to access private data or control U.S. payments. She also claimed that Musk was using public money to fund his business ventures, including SpaceX.
Waters criticized Trump and other billionaires, accusing them of attempting to dominate the country’s political and economic systems. Other Democrats at the rally, including Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Jasmine Crockett, echoed similar sentiments, calling Musk a threat to democracy. Conservatives online condemned the remarks, with some accusing Democrats of inciting violence and chaos.
