(DC Pundit) – In a display of political theater that would make Shakespeare blush, a group of Democratic lawmakers decided to throw a little soirée outside the Treasury Department on Tuesday evening. The star of their ire? None other than Elon Musk and his merry band of DOGE enthusiasts.
Leading the charge in this carnival of outrage were Representatives Ayanna Pressley and LaMonica McIver. Rep. McIver, channeling her inner WWE wrestler, bellowed, “We will not take this! We will fight back! And goddammit shut down the Senate! We are at war!”
Not to be outdone, Rep. Pressley decided to spice things up with a dash of pyromania. “I want to say to our Republican colleagues — pay attention. We’re here today in the hopes that you will see the light. But if you do not see the light, we will bring the fire. Resist!” she proclaimed, as Maxine Waters enthusiastically applauded.
But Pressley wasn’t done. In a moment of linguistic creativity she dubbed Musk a “Nazi nepo baby.” One can only imagine the hours of brainstorming that went into crafting such a zinger.

Not to be left out of the fun, Maxine Waters jumped into the fray, unleashing a tirade against Musk. “We have got to tell Elon Musk, ‘Nobody elected your a**. Nobody told you you could get all of our private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge of the payments of this country,'” she declared.

The pièce de résistance came from Senator Elizabeth Warren, who rattled off a list of people who didn’t vote for Musk. “Not one Democrat in America voted for Elon Musk, not one not one Republican in America voted for Elon Musk, not one independent in America voted for Elon Musk, not one libertarian in America voted for Elon Musk, dammit, not one vegetarian in America voted for Elon Musk,” she declared.
I guess the Democrats's new playbook is to scream about how no one elected Elon Musk.
Well, you wretched witches, we actually did vote for the creation of DOGE led by Elon Musk, and we are loving the results so far. pic.twitter.com/WVifDs4Ufg

This spectacle, dubbed the “Nobody Elected Elon” protest, raises some interesting questions. For instance, when did we start holding elections for every single government employee?
It’s worth noting that while Musk wasn’t elected, he operates within the bounds of existing laws and regulations. If lawmakers have concerns about his influence, the appropriate response would be to propose and pass legislation addressing these issues, not to engage in theatrical protests that do little to advance meaningful dialogue or policy changes.
