Elon Musk recently took aim at a group of Democratic senators for posting nearly identical videos on social media, criticizing former President Donald Trump over inflation. At least 22 senators shared clips where they followed the same script, challenging Trump’s claim that he would lower prices. The uniformity of these messages did not go unnoticed, and Musk was quick to mock what he saw as a coordinated effort.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk offered to buy a Tesla Cybertruck for anyone who could provide proof of who was behind the script. His challenge sparked a flurry of responses, with many users joining in to speculate about the origins of the coordinated message. He didn’t stop there—his posts continued to take jabs at the senators, ridiculing them for what he called a lack of originality and referring to the videos as a “puppet show.”
Musk’s comments reflect his ongoing criticism of political messaging that he views as scripted or inauthentic. While some agreed with his perspective, others pushed back, arguing that political parties often coordinate their messaging to ensure consistency. Regardless of where one stands, Musk’s remarks have once again put him at the center of a political conversation, highlighting the intersection of technology, social media, and public discourse.
