In a striking appearance on Fox News, Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that she might pursue charges against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) for the disparaging comments she made regarding former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk.
As previously reported, Crockett made her initial statements during a nationwide call with the far-left organization “Tesla Takedown,” which characterizes itself as a “peaceful protest platform” despite its connections to violent protests and acts of vandalism.
While addressing the gathered activists, Rep. Crockett expressed her desire for Elon to be “taken down,” a statement that many observers interpreted as a direct threat of violence. In her remarks threatening Musk, Crockett stated, “On March 29, it’s my birthday. All I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.”
In her opening remarks, the attorney general remarked, “You know, after she made that statement about Elon, she claimed, ‘Well, I didn’t mean violence,’ but your words carry consequences. And what transpired after her comments about Elon Musk, she’s a Texan in her own home state.”
After stating, “This morning, three explosive devices were discovered in Austin, Texas,” she must clearly denounce the violence. An immediate apology is necessary, not only to all Texans but also to our nation and to the American shareholders of Tesla, as she is inciting violence.
Presenting her argument, Bondi stated, “After you shared the clip of her comments regarding Senator Cruz, I believe it is likely that Congress will censure her for those remarks. It is evident that she is leveraging her public persona and platform to enhance her follower count and elevate her own importance, while simultaneously endangering lives.”
In conclusion, she remarked, “When she made those statements at Tesla, it put people’s lives at risk. This is America, a nation that values freedom, yet she is promoting violence within our society. Consider the numerous lives that could have been endangered in Texas today due to her statements and actions. Furthermore, she did not cease her remarks with Senator Cruz; she must issue an immediate apology and condemn the violence.”
In the comments section beneath a clip of the segment shared on X, numerous conservatives expressed their views. One extensive comment defended Musk’s contributions to the nation, stating, “Elon Musk’s unwavering commitment to revealing government waste and corruption positions him as a primary target for irrational attacks. The incident involving explosives in Austin highlights the risks associated with irresponsible rhetoric from politicians who favor theatrics over accountability.”
Furthermore, the same individual continued, “As career bureaucrats divert billions into DEI spectacles, transgender performances, and Afghan poppy cultivation, Musk’s initiatives at the Department of Government Efficiency have recovered $1.9 billion in misappropriated taxpayer money. Genuine leadership necessitates confronting the swamp—not supporting its violent extremes.”

Mocking the far-left Democrats, one comment stated, “Eyelash Jaz threatened Ted Cruz with physical violence yesterday, yet there has been no response from the inactive Bondi regarding this matter, and Mike Johnson is also doing nothing about it.” Expanding on this idea, another commenter remarked, “Oh, come on, Jasmine Crockett. This is typical of the left; they deflect and assign blame. Pam Bondi is addressing the genuine issues, while Crockett attempts to divert attention with petty attacks.
