Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democratic congresswoman from Texas, has become an internet sensation after delivering a sharp two-word response to a question about billionaire Elon Musk. Her bold remark quickly went viral, earning her praise from supporters and social media users who hailed her as a "national hero." Musk, known for his active presence on social media, did not immediately respond to Crockett’s comment.
During a recent congressional hearing, a reporter asked Rep. Crockett about Elon Musk’s influence on political and social issues. Rather than offering a lengthy response, Crockett simply replied, "Who cares?" Her succinct answer struck a chord with many, especially those critical of Musk’s recent controversies. Within hours, the clip was widely shared on social media, with thousands praising her directness and no-nonsense attitude.
Social media erupted with reactions, with hashtags like #WhoCares and #JasmineCrockett trending on X (formerly Twitter). Many users applauded her for refusing to engage in what they saw as unnecessary discourse about Musk, while others appreciated her confidence in brushing off the question. Supporters described Crockett as fearless. Political analysts noted that her remark resonated with a growing sentiment among voters who are frustrated with the outsized influence of billionaires in politics.
While addressing reporters on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, Crockett was asked what she would say if she had the opportunity to speak directly to Elon Musk. Without skipping a beat, she bluntly replied, “Fuck off.” Her response drew laughter from the crowd, with someone in the background remarking, “Well said.”
