Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently mocked a group of Democratic senators for sharing nearly identical videos featuring the same talking points. At least 22 senators posted videos on X (formerly Twitter) using a verbatim script and matching interstitial footage, criticizing former President Donald Trump for allegedly worsening inflation. Each video starts with a clip of Trump promising to “bring prices down starting on day one,” followed by the senators refuting this with a blunt “s— that ain’t true” before delivering the same scripted message.
“Since day one of Trump’s presidency, prices are up, not down,” the senators uniformly state. “Inflation is getting worse, not better.”
Elon Musk takes jabs at Democratic senators
In a series of posts, Musk took a dig at these Democratic senators that included the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Booker, Sen. Cory and Sen. Schumer.
In one such post, Musk wrote “Now we’re up to 22 Dem senators all doing the same cringe video simultaneously! I will buy a Cybertruck for anyone can provide proof of who wrote this particular piece of propaganda. First person to post proof in the replies to this post gets the truck!”
“And who told them ALL to hold the microphone like they’re a teenager doing TikTok videos,” he said in another post.
“Worst puppet show ever 🤡🤣,” the Tesla CEO wrote.
“Can’t someone be bothered to write three speeches? This is just lazy 😂,” Musk mocked.
“Ok, so who is sending the social media interns of the politicians what to post?,” he stated.
“Who is writing the words that the puppets speak? That’s the real question,” he said while taking a dig.
“They are all actors reading a script”, Musk wrote in another post.
