Kevin McCarthy: Elon Musk Deserves a Medal for Making America Stronger

Kevin McCarthy: With his creations, Elon is making America stronger

“I did not think it was possible for the Democrats to even get worse messaging than when they attacked the cuts at USAID on the transgender operas in other countries.

But now they want to attack Elon while they drive his Teslas. One of the things Elon has cut is the subsidy to buy Teslas—he's hurt his own business to help the country.

Every other leader in every other country would love to have Elon in their country helping them build missiles, being able to go up to space and come back, and bringing electric cars.

Instead of attacking Elon, Democrats should join with him if they ever want to get back into the majority.

Before Elon Musk, we [were not building] a rocket engine in America. He went out and did it himself so we could go. We have astronauts stuck in space, we need Elon to go get them. We have a disaster in America, we need Starlink.

Elon creates something and helps the government in that process. He makes America stronger.

And now they want to attack him because he's looking out for the hardworking taxpayer. That should be their job as elected officials. They won't do it, and he's volunteering to do it. He should be given a medal.”
