That was simply the most amazing speech I have ever heard a Democrat give. Wake up Democrats! Learn from something!
This is the way to take our democracy back - make them backdown.

It reminded me of this



Obviously, it hasn't stopped. And it was depressingly hard to locate this video.

Congrats and thank you for being so bold as to speak the truth. One only hopes that some of the people that he speaking to and about will hear him. And just who the heck does Musk think he is to think he can run our country when we didn't vote him into ANY office? Damn him!

I hope this goes viral for all the right reasons.

It's a shame the Republicans he's schooling HAVE no shame.

Bold people like Larson will move public opinion to force Musk to answer questions under oath. Larson is right: Americans need answers!
