Ted Cruz Begs Americans Stop Being So Nasty to Elon Musk

“I think the American people ought to be saying to Elon, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’” the Texas Senator said on Fox News.

“I think the American people ought to be saying to Elon, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’” the Texas Senator said on Fox News.

Ted Cruz used a Fox News interview to act as a human shield for Elon Musk, demanding Americans get down and kiss the billionaire’s feet for his DOGE work.

Musk has called time on his stint at the Trump administration, with his 130-day “special government employee” status elapsing on May 30. His time at Trump’s side was tumultuous, with Tesla caught up in the pushback against his cost-cutting DOGE.

Cruz appears shocked by the backlash, telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening that Americans should be expressing deep gratitude to Musk and chanting “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

    We must increase our pressure against Elon Musk. Until he’s bankrupt or behind bars he’s still a huge threat to our country. Boycott all his companies. Sell your Tesla stock (it’s high right now I can’t predict the future but maybe it’s peaked right now), stop using Twitter if you use it. Contact pension funds and demand they divest from Tesla.

    For Starlink If you think it’s the only choice for you maybe if you’re just on the edge of cell phone reception you can use a parabolic antenna to get a reliable signal for 5g internet. This will likely be lower cost than Starlink. OneWeb has a competing service but they don’t sell directly, I’m not sure how you can switch to OneWeb. Project Kuiper just launched their first satellites about a month ago. AST SpaceMobile might be an option too. If those options aren’t available to you I predict there will be more alternatives for Starlink within the coming years.

    Bold play, assuming that Ted Cruz is human.

    "And the left decided he was Adolf Hitler. He was the embodiment of evil,” he said, branding the attacks on Tesla dealerships “domestic terrorism.”

    Besides, among other things, Musk’s talk attacking small minority groups like the trans community, I can’t imagine where did “the left” got the crazy idea he was Hitler.

      And apart from him clearly being a Nazi, the first amen gives all of us the right to verbally lambast Tesla and Elon. It’s not domestic terrorism, it’s freedom, you rather fucker, Rapheal…

      And then my rocket went like this until it exploded one mile higher than the last one.

      Next one launches Saturday.
