Summary
Rep. John Larson (D-CT) delivered a forceful rebuke of House Republicans for their blind loyalty to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, particularly in their efforts to privatize Social Security. He condemned their refusal to hold Musk accountable in congressional hearings while allowing him to push his dangerous agenda unchecked. Larson warned that this is part of a long-standing conservative effort to dismantle social safety nets, placing millions of Americans at risk. He urged Democrats to expose this corporate-driven scheme and ensure the public understands what’s at stake as the GOP maneuvers to strip away vital protections for seniors, the disabled, and working families.

By giving Elon Musk unchecked influence over policy, Republicans are proving that their loyalty lies not with working Americans, but with the billionaire class. This fight is not just about Social Security—it’s about resisting corporate tyranny and ensuring the government works for the people, not the elites. Progressives must mobilize, spread awareness, and push back before it’s too late.
