Jasmine Crockett, whose entire claim to fame is being a congresswoman who can’t remember if she’s on the House floor or the hood, smeared DOGE head Elon Musk - founder and CEO of multiple companies, including one on the cutting edge of electric vehicles and another currently pioneering the modern age of space exploration - as an “idiot” who “has no idea of what he’s doing.”
“The level of incompetence is almost like, incomprehensible. It is so bad,” Crockett told a nodding Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night.
“And when you bring up the idiot known as Elon Musk…” she continued, pausing for audience applause.
“He is not only like, very sinister and has no idea of what he’s doing, and people are like, “Oh no, he absolutely knows, he’s the richest man in the world!’ Like yes, he absolutely knows how to hire smart people, but don’t conflict that and believe that he is the genius, because he ain’t," she went on about the South African immigrant-turned-American billionaire.

To remind, Musk began his first tech company at the age of 24. Four years later, he launched an online financial services and e-mail payment company, one of the first federally insured online banks. Five years after that, before the age of 35, Musk launched SpaceX - with $100 million of his own money - with the goal of reaching and ultimately terraforming Mars. The company had launched its first rocket but the time Musk turned 40. He's not the richest man in the world and is worth an estimated $355 billion, which I guess makes him just the luckiest "idiot" on Earth.
Crockett, on the other hand, worked as a public defender before starting a law firm to handle car accident lawsuits - when she wasn't defending Black Lives Matter criminals for free, of course - before getting elected to Congress and making a name for herself by channeling her inner, contrived Madea for the cameras, but who has authored no significant pieces of legislation or made any meaningful contributions to the American people.
But sure, Musk’s the moron. Perhaps when he finally figures out how to send people to other planets, he can start with this banshee and rid us all of the sound of her voice.
