Summary

Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett sarcastically acknowledged a MAGA talking point, claiming Elon Musk is the immigrant “taking our jobs” by acquiring government contracts and critical services.

“There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk,” she wrote, listing industries he influences, including national security, fraud oversight, and social services.

      For those too lazy to read

      “There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk,” the lawmaker wrote. “He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs. You were 1000 percent correct.”

      I think that’s the point, right? Outrage generates interaction, a Democrat ‘admitting’ that they (Republicans) are right about immigration is the perfect hook.
