Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 7th district, recently expressed her views on social media concerning Elon Musk and his influence on governmental affairs. Her comments also addressed concerns about federal programs and their current state under certain leadership.
On March 10, 2025, Rep. Jayapal tweeted a call for transparency from influential figures like Elon Musk and agency heads, stating "If Elon Musk wants to play shadow President, he should come before Congress and explain to us exactly what he’s doing." She further emphasized the need for accountability by saying that "we deserve answers."
Later the same day, she questioned Musk's capability to manage broader responsibilities by suggesting that "Maybe Elon should prove he can run Twitter before he tries to run our government."
In another tweet posted on March 10, 2025, Jayapal voiced her concerns about budget cuts affecting USAID. She remarked that "USAID — a program that makes up 0.71% of the federal budget — has been gutted by Trump and Elon." She highlighted the importance of this funding in saving lives globally and advancing American interests.
