From ABC News: Democratic lawmakers continue to protest tech billionaire Elon Musk’s sweeping influence over government decisions and material, with protests, proposed legislation and other attempts to obstruct President Donald Trump’s agenda and the efforts of his close ally to cut what the Trump administration considers wasteful spending.
Dozens of lawmakers appeared Tuesday at a “Nobody Elected Elon” rally outside the Treasury Department, each delivering fiery attacks directed toward Trump and Musk. They described Musk’s action as a “heist,” a “takeover” and an “abuse of power.”
Rep. Ayanna Pressley went as far as calling Musk a “Nazi nepo baby.”
President Trump appointed Musk to head up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with the sole purpose of eliminating wasteful government spending. Furious over the efforts, Democrats are threatening to derail Trump’s agenda by holding up confirmation of his appointees.
“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” declared Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT).
People are waking up. Our office’s phones are overwhelmed today. This rally tonight to protest Musk and Trump’s seizure of our personal data was supposed to have a few hundred people and 1000+ showed up.

Rep. Maxine Waters said, “We have got to tell Elon Musk, ‘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!’”
“THIS IS OUR COUNTRY! THIS IS NOT ELON MUSK’S COUNTRY! THIS IS NOT DONALD TRUMP’S COUNTRY!” Waters howled during her meltdown which lasted a little over four minutes.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) launched into an unhinged tirade, claiming that “Elon Musk spent $280 million to buy an election for Donald Trump, and now Elon Musk is here to collect on his investment. He is here to seize power for himself!”
Warren wildly claimed, “Musk has grabbed control of America’s payment system! This is the system that makes sure your grandpa gets his social security on time! This is the system that makes sure that your mom’s doctor gets paid for her medicare exam. Elon Musk wants the power to turn that off.”
“No one elected Elon Musk to NOTHING!” Warren screeched. “Not one Democrat in America voted for Elon Musk, not one not one Republican in America voted for Elon Musk, not one independent in America voted for Elon Musk, not one libertarian in America voted for Elon Musk. Damn, not one vegetarian in America voted for Elon Musk, and yet, Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people. WE ARE HERE TO FIGHT BACK!”

Progressive Democrat Rep. Maxwell Frost (Fla.) raged, “We just tried to enter the Treasury Building because we need to provide oversight to Elon Musk. The people deserve transparency. The fact that an unelected billionaire has all your private information is a problem!”
