Who is Congressman Dan Goldman and what is his stance on Elon Musk?
Democrats are fighting back against Donald Trump and Elon Musk's corruption. Leading the way is Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman from New York. He's been outspoken in the halls of Congress, on the floor of Congress, outside of Congress, and on social media. He posted the following. Elon Musk gave Trump $250 million, so Trump handed him control of America's checkbook.
Musk and his 20-something Doge cadre can now access your social security number, home address, and more.
Elon Musk then tried to attack Congressmember Goldman by saying, corrupt politician says what, to which Congressmember Dan Goldman, a former top federal prosecutor says, actually, former federal prosecutor says, you are breaking the law on a daily basis, so you can use our government's checkbook and Americans personal information
for your own corrupt grifting he went back and forth with elon musk elon musk then said we don't have any personal data of americans you corrupt moron to which congress member dan goldman says tell it to the judge under oath we've got congress member dan goldman here right now congressman welcome what do you make of all of this
Look, I think it's kind of the typical Donald Trump playbook at this point, which is childish insults, all sorts of allegations which are designed to distract from the dismantling of our federal government that Elon Musk is trying to do. It's somewhat laughable for him to refer to all Democrats as corrupt,
when this is a guy who has taken over control of government contracts when he himself receives billions of dollars of government contracts. But because he's not an official government employee, he can evade the standard conflicts of interest rules that apply to all other government employees.
And so it is the ultimate corruption where he is essentially getting access to the federal budget and getting to make recommendations or even decisions about what contracts should continue and what contracts should not. Do you think he's going to say, you know what, my contract is a little excessive. It's wasteful. Let's cancel that.
Of course not. It's absurd. There's part of that distraction effort where they try to do the kind of comical trolling, but they're saying very kind of dark and, you know, problematic things is, you know, he changed his name on Twitter or X. Now he calls himself Harry Balls and he goes, you know, he's billionaire oligarch who's going around and has access to all this information.
His screen name is Harry Balls. That's where we've become
