ELON MUSK HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 44 (Monday, March 10, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 44 (Monday, March 10, 2025)] [House] [Pages H1061-H1062] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] ELON MUSK HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING (Ms. BALINT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) [[Page H1062]] Ms. BALINT. Mr. Speaker, we have heard for months now that this administration only hires the very best people. Really? Let's look at exhibit A. This is the guy? This guy? This is the guy that keeps swinging around his big chainsaw? This is the guy who is going to fix government? Let me state for the record what millions of Americans can already see with their own eyes and what Trump's own Cabinet can see and what my colleagues across the aisle are hoping nobody will ask them about. Elon Musk has no idea what he is doing. He has fired people who guard our nuclear arsenal. He has gone after the people protecting us from bird flu and Ebola. His own emails and directives contradict each other. He erroneously triple counted contracts to inflate the DOGE numbers. He has had to remove faulty claims and replace them with a page saying: Coming soon. Mr. Speaker, the incompetence is shocking, and it makes us all less safe. From exposing our personal, private information to leaving Americans stranded abroad to kicking our veterans to the curb, we deserve so much better than this. ____________________
