Attorney general to Jasmine Crockett: ‘Tread very carefully’ with your Musk critique

Published

on

Attorney General Pam Bondi warned Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Sunday to “tread very carefully” following the lawmaker’s recent remarks voicing support for Elon Musk to be “taken down.”

“She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we’re going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,” Bondi said during an appearance on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

The warning comes days after the Democrat spoke at a virtual rally held for the The Tesla Takedown movement, a group rallying against Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to bulldoze the federal bureaucracy through boycotts and demonstrations at Tesla properties. The coalition is organizing 500 demonstrations March 29 at Tesla locations across the country.

“On March 29, it’s my birthday, and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down,” Crockett said during her remarks. “I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money.”

Crockett clarified during the rally that her calls for action were nonviolent.

U.S. Tesla locations have been the target of widespread protests — and at times, vandalism — over the last few weeks due to Musk’s involvement with the Trump administration. Bondi’s caution also follows her recent announcement that the Department of Justice is charging three people for allegedly vandalizing Tesla cars and properties, which she has referred to as “domestic terrorism.”

Before calling out Crockett, Bondi also doubled down on her determination to rein in the protests.

“We are not coming off these charges,” she said. “We are looking at everything, especially if this is a concerted effort.”
