Jasmine Crockett Posts Mock Apology To MAGA After Identifying An 'Immigrant Taking People's Jobs'

Rep. Jasmine Crockett mocked both MAGA and Elon Musk with a series of posts about an "immigrant" who actually is "taking people's jobs."

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett criticized MAGA followers and billionaire Elon Musk with a mock apology to them after identifying an "immigrant" who actually is "taking people's jobs."

President Donald Trump has repeatedly asserted that immigrants are taking jobs from American workers, at times even claiming that over 100% of new jobs are going to them. But he hasn't had much, if anything, to say about Musk gutting federal agencies via his DOGE initiative despite not being an elected official—and a foreign-born unelected official at that.


In fact, according to a White House record, Musk's job title is listed as "unlisted." When Trump established DOGE through an executive order, he integrated it into the White House by transforming the U.S. Digital Service into the U.S. DOGE Service. The order specified that an "administrator" would lead DOGE but did not indicate who held the position.

Earlier this month, a White House spokesperson stated that Musk holds the title of an unpaid special government employee, a designation that exempts him from the standard ethics and conflict-of-interest regulations applicable to federal workers.

And in came Crockett with this cutting joke:

"There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs
 his name is Elon Musk."
"He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs."
"You were 1000 percent correct."

People appreciated the mock "apology"—and joined Crockett in criticizing Musk.

Yes yes, we all knew this would happen. This is what Trump supporters voted for. We have to live with their stupidity. You will have no sympathy from me and mine. We prepared, you followed a corrupt evil man. Pull up your bootstraps, Republicans! You will get nothing from us.

God do we need more of our Reps. to show the gumption and courage you have. You are an American hero in the making. Thank you for what you are doing.

And maga Republicans (all of them now) don't care about democracy, Rule of Law, or how this will hurt ALL of us. Shame on them.

It's funny how much Republicans like immigrants when they're rich and white

It’s time to view Elon Musk as the domestic terrorist that he is. His government contracts give him control of information, weapon systems, etc. He has no intent on reforming the government. He’s destroying it. He’s un American, remember? #usarmyveteranretired

The White House denies that Musk is actually in charge of DOGE.

According to a White House court filing on Monday, when Elon Musk refers to actions taken by the Department of Government Efficiency as "we," he is not officially involved as an employee or leader of the initiative.

In a declaration from Joshua Fisher, director of the Office of Administration, Musk is described as a "Senior Advisor to the President" in his role as a special government employee. However, he is not an employee of the separate U.S. DOGE Service (USDS) or the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, which is responsible for improving government technology and reducing spending or staffing.

The filing also states that Musk is not the USDS administrator overseeing the DOGE initiative but does not specify who currently holds that position.

This revelation emerges as part of a lawsuit filed by Democratic attorneys general from multiple states, who argue that Musk’s ambiguous role in the administration is unlawful and violates the separation of powers outlined in the U.S. Constitution. They claim that Trump has "delegated virtually unchecked authority to Mr. Musk without proper legal authorization from Congress."

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
