Congresswoman Maxine Waters Slams Elon Musk at Space X Rally: “While He is Taking Away People’s Jobs, He Continues to Make Money”

March 4, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Saturday in Los Angeles County, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) joined over 3,000 people in protest against Elon Musk’s takeover of the government. Her remarks are below: 

“Let the people know that all of these folks came by here today. There is a crisis in this country, and we have got to be on the streets to say we will resist Elon Musk.

“If Elon thinks he’s so bad, why don’t he come on out here and face us? I want you to know this is my district, the 43rd congressional district. And he does not care about the people in this community. 

“He has bought his way into the presidency by funding all of Trump’s campaign. And now Trump is letting him do whatever the hell he wants. 

“I want the people to know there’s a lot of lawsuits against him. I want the public to know I believe that some of the agencies he’s closing down now are investigating him. He has made billions of dollars off of our government through all kinds of contracts.  

“While he is taking away people’s jobs, he continues to make money. He’s growing richer and richer. Send him back from wherever he came from.”
