WATCH VIDEO: Chuck Schumer Agrees with Elon Musk?!
With a grin and a printout, Schumer waves around an Elon Musk tweet to slam the GOP’s budget bill. Yes, that really happened.
In the video below, you'll see Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer hold up a literal printout of a tweet by Elon Musk and say the words: “I agree with Elon Musk.”
Let that sink in.
During a June 3rd press conference, Schumer used the Tesla billionaire’s words as ammo against the Republican-led “One Big Bill” (OBB) — the latest sweeping budget proposal being rammed through Congress. Musk’s tweet, critical of the bill's reckless spending and lack of transparency, gave Schumer a rare political opening to say: “Even Elon Musk is against this.”
He took that opening and ran with it — all the way to a printed sheet of paper.
Some journalists noted his tone as “enthusiastic.” Others just called it weird. Either way, it’s a political moment you don’t see every day: the top Democrat citing one of the loudest right-wing-adjacent billionaires to make a point.
📸 The visual says it all: Schumer holding a piece of paper like a substitute teacher showing the class what someone else said. But the messaging was clear — even controversial tech bros think this budget is trash.
