John Fetterman slams fellow Democrats for sudden love for Elon Musk
Share this @internewscast.com

Sen. John Fetterman criticized his fellow Democrats for quickly siding with Elon Musk following the billionaire’s explosive online conflict with President Donald Trump.

The Tesla CEO has been relentlessly posting critical comments about the president and his significant legislative initiative, the Big Beautiful Bill Act.

The multi-trillion dollar bill includes tax cuts, border wall funding and a national debt limit increase. 

Musk, who departed from his White House role just a week ago, has since criticized the president over the bill, focusing on how it will substantially increase the national debt by trillions.

The mercurial business leader also raked Trump over the coals by launching personal attacks against the Republican’s character, saying the president is an Epstein-linked pedophile who never would have won the election without Musk’s millions in donations. 

As the the world’s richest man lambasted the world’s most powerful man publicly on X, some Democrats began hatching plans to turn the two against each other. 

Though when liberal lawmakers began making overtures to Musk due to his explosive targeting of Trump over a GOP-backed budget bill, Fetterman rebuked his colleagues. 

‘The Dems, we’ve been dumping all over Musk and vandalizing Teslas or whatever, and now, suddenly, we might be more back into him,’ the 55-year-old senator said.

Fetterman warned his colleagues against ingratiating Musk back into the Democratic party, however.

‘It wasn’t that long ago that Tesla was like the virtue-signaling kind of accessory for Dems,’ he said. 

‘I would never want to vandalize Teslas, and the ‘big, beautiful bill’ is wrong for America. So, from my perspective, I’ve just tried to be consistent through that.’

Known for bucking his party in displaying a fervent allegiance to Israel and meeting personally with Trump, the Pennsylvania Democrat’s warning against Musk stands in contrast to his typically contrarian policy posture. 

Meanwhile, California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna – who represents parts of Silicon Valley and has known Musk for decades – is of the mind that his party would benefit from brining the billionaire back into the party’s fold. 

Democrats should be ‘in a dialogue’ with the billionaire, Khanna told Politico this week.

‘If Biden had a big supporter criticize him, Trump would have hugged him the next day. When we refused to meet with [Robert Kennedy Jr.], Trump embraced him & won,’ Khanna posted on X. 

‘We can be the party of sanctimonious lectures, or the party of FDR that knows how to win & build a progressive majority,’ the Democrat’s post continued. 

Trump and Musk's feud has been a hot topic on Capitol Hill amid their fallout. GOP lawmakers have said they are saddened by the conflict and hope they can resolve their differences

New York Democrat Ritchie Torres also has said that his party should reassess its relationship with the Tesla owner.

‘I’m a believer in redemption, and he is telling the truth about the legislation,’ he told Politico.

Former Obama staffer and popular liberal podcast host Jon Favreau reposted one of Musk’s posts calling for the Big Beautiful Bill Act to be ‘killed.’

‘Couldn’t agree with Elon more: kill the bill,’ he posted. 

The sudden embrace comes despite Democratic attacks against the business mogul for his work at DOGE. 

Many lawmakers, including Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., went as far as to sell their Tesla cars. 

‘When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to become a political issue,’ Kelly said in a viral video about selling his Tesla, noting how he does not want to drive a car built by an ‘a*****.’
