Fetterman takes dig at Dems over Musk: ‘Suddenly we might be more back into him’
HARRISBURG (TNS) — Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman apparently was not impressed with how some of his colleagues reacted to the throwdown between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
Musk has been villainized by the Democrats for his support of Trump and what he has done with DOGE, but as he tore down the president on Thursday at least some of the stances seemed to soften.
And Fetterman called that out.
“The Dems, we’ve been dumping all over Musk and vandalizing Teslas or whatever, and now, suddenly, we might be more back into him,” Fetterman said. ‘It’s like, you know, (Musk) is right about that big beautiful bill. I mean, now it’s like adding $2.5 trillion debt. I mean, it’s astonishing. I can’t imagine anyone genuinely thinking this is like a smart thing. And that’s where we are.
“Now, suddenly Musk is right,” Fetterman continued. “Well, we were just going after him for all these months now and showing up at Tesla dealerships and all those kinds of things.”
That’s when Fetterman said Democrats need to make up their minds on Musk.
“We have to decide, you know, where are we thinking about him,” he said. I’m saying, it’s like he’s right about the big beautiful bill. And suddenly it wasn’t that long ago that Tesla was like the virtue signaling kind of accessory for Dems as well, too. So, now where rare we at on this kind of a thing now? I follow what is the truth. I would never want to vandalize Teslas and now the big beautiful bill is wrong for America.
“So, from my perspective, I just try to be consistent through that.”
