Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters erupted in outrage Tuesday, screeching her disapproval of both President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk at an event in Washington, D.C.
At a rally held by Democratic lawmakers protesting Musk’s access to information at the Treasury Department, Waters accused him of overstepping his boundaries without the consent of voters during her speech.
“We have got to tell Elon Musk that nobody elected your ass. Nobody told you you could get all of our private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge of the payments of this country,” Waters yelled.
While Musk was not actually elected, his boss — Trump — was, and by a significant amount over former Vice President Kamala Harris. Also, most senior advisors and Cabinet members of any administration were not elected, either, but serve at the pleasure of the president.
Waters went on to baselessly accuse Musk of monopolizing on the earnings of ordinary Americans to fund SpaceX and his other business endeavors.
“unhinged” comments.
