Democrats are eager to pick a fight with Donald Trump now that’s he’s President-elect.
They never seem to learn their lesson on how badly that goes for them.
And Donald Trump had one unthinkable name for Elizabeth Warren after she started a fight.
Elizabeth Warren rages over Elon Musk’s role in Trump transition
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk emerged as one of the close confidants of President-elect Donald Trump during the end of the campaign.
Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy are heading the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to find ways to cut federal spending and make the government more efficient.
Democrats and their media allies are fuming that Musk backed Trump during the election and owns X.
U.S. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has had an ax to grind against the SpaceX CEO for years.
She falsely accused him of not paying any taxes and freeloading off the public.
This time she decided to send an angry letter to Trump demanding that he put ethics rules in place for Musk.
“Mr. Musk’s substantial private interests present a massive conflict of interest with the role he has taken on as your ‘unofficial co-president,’” Warren wrote. “Currently, the American public has no way of knowing whether the advice that he is whispering to you in secret is good for the country— or merely good for his own bottom line.”
Democrats have started to call Musk the “co-president” as a dig at Trump.
“Putting Mr. Musk in a position to influence billions of dollars of government contracts and regulatory enforcement without a stringent conflict-of-interest agreement in place is an invitation for corruption on a scale not seen in our lifetimes,” Warren claimed.
Trump’s campaign silences Elizabeth Warren with a brutal response
Trump transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt fired back at Warren with a statement that mocked her lying about her Native American heritage.
“President Trump has assembled the most impressive and qualified team of innovators, entrepreneurs, and geniuses to advise and staff our government,” Leavitt said.
“Pocahontas can play political games and send toothless letters, but the Trump-Vance transition will continue to be held to the highest ethical and legal standards possible — a standard unfamiliar to a career politician whose societal impact is 1/1024th of Elon Musk’s,” Leavitt added.
Trump has mocked Warren over the years by calling her Pocahontas after she lied about being a Native American for decades to advance her career through affirmative action.
Warren, in a truly bizarre moment, released her DNA test that found she was 1/1024 Native American in 2018.
Musk took a swipe at Warren on X by posting a picture of her dressed as a chief created by the platform’s artificial intelligence (AI) Grok.

“Guess who this is?” Musk asked.
Warren is terrified of Musk’s work on DOGE slashing government spending and reducing the number of unionized government employees.
Democrats are afraid he might succeed where others have failed trying to reform the government.
Elizabeth Warren is in for a long two years with Democrats powerless in Washington, D.C.
