For eight years, Democrats saw Donald Trump as the most toxic brand in politics, a singular figure who unified their disparate factions and filled their political coffers with campaign contributions. The limits of that strategy became evident in November.
They are now turning their attention to a new supervillain: Elon Musk.
In the early weeks of the second Trump administration, Democrats are seeking to highlight the prominence of Musk, the polarizing technology mogul, in the new administration.
The strategy is the first sign of unified opposition for a rudderless and leaderless Democratic Party. As I recently reported with my colleague Reid Epstein, Democrats do not agree on a vision for the future, on what issues to prioritize or on how to confront a Trump administration that is carrying out its right-wing agenda with head-spinning speed.
So as their party struggles to settle on a message against Trump, Democrats have turned to Musk as an easier — and far more politically vulnerable — proxy.

It's pathetic, but the entire legacy media is going for it because, since they lost all of their credibility over Trump, what have they got to lose?
As DOGE goes forward--money, power, influence is what they lose.

Of course. We are at war. The Democrat Party vs. America. May God give us overwhelming victory over the lying treasonous traitors.
May we experience a rebirth of freedom from the beginning of the miraculous recovery of America’s
- Free Constitutional Republic, and
- Governance by the Rule of Law, the Constitution - maybe the most inspired political document ever created - rather than the Rule of Man and his sea-swept whims tossed to and fro.
The Dems weren’t generating sufficient rage by putting Trump on the screen in front of their drones for the 1,000,000th time during 5 Minutes of Hate so they had to switch to a new target.
Elon Musk…or Jamie Raskin

Gee America, tough choice in who is doing more for America
Exactly how is Musk politically vulnerable?
Musketeers......the new meme....spread it
Listened to a democratic cooperative vilifying the party. She kept saying that they lost despite how “horrible” Trump was. She completely lost by not realizing he was exactly what the public wanted.
They will attack his brand and businesses and try the bankrupt him like they did with Trump with bad press and meaningless litigation. Telsa has already seen a drop in sales in Europe over him helping Trump. Watch for them to ramp-up attacks on SpaceX and any contracts.
I don't think he has much chance of being elected President at this point.
Musk best have his house in order with every I dotted and T crossed, because the dems will come after him hard whenever they resume power.
Some of this is also due to the cost of EVs and competition from the PRC. Tesla is not the only large player in the market any longer.
Any boycott of Tesla products will be very short-term.
True, but the dims like to take credit to empower their stupid mass of idiots/followers.
“For eight years, Democrats saw Donald Trump as the most toxic brand in politics”
This should show everyone that the Demoncrats are scared to death of any President that cares more about people than power.
Too often an excerpted post has a link to a source that requires a subscription, and, with the excerpt most likely being auto-generated, it probably did not include the most relevant and pertinent details of that article.
Sorry EVIL Democrats, he’s not one bit afraid of you! he can’t WAIT to back someone to PRIMARY YOUR BUTT!
PRAY FOR AMERICA!
Liberal activists once waved signs depicting cartoonish mops of orange hair. Now, demonstrators outside government buildings carry hand-painted placards announcing that “nobody elected Elon.” On Tuesday, outside the Office of Personnel Management, protesters chanted: “Hey, hey, ho, ho! Elon Musk has got to go!”
And in Congress, Democratic lawmakers representing the party’s progressive and centrist wings alike have cast Musk as the chief architect, executor and beneficiary of the new administration, portraying him as an unelected oligarch who is steamrolling the Constitution and stealing from taxpayers.
“In the building behind me, Elon Musk is seizing power from the American people,” Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat, told protesters outside the Treasury Department this week. “He is here to seize power for himself. We are here to fight that.”
The next day, Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, offered a meandering explanation on his social media account of how Musk posed a major danger to American democracy and voters.
“The guy who’s running the show right now — Elon Musk — needs to take control of America’s foreign policy in order to pad his pockets,” said Murphy, who has emerged as one of the most vocal opponents of the new administration.
Even Representative Jared Golden of Maine, a moderate Democrat who works hard to appeal to Trump’s supporters, posted on X that Musk seemed to be stepping on the president’s toes.
“My constituents, and a majority of this country, put Trump in the White House, not this unelected, weirdo billionaire,” he wrote.
And... That's that focus grouped word weird again... Did Timpon Walz learn them nothing?
