Crockett Criticizes Musk's Competence on Kimmel Show

During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett strongly criticized Elon Musk, calling him an 'idiot' and arguing that his success is due more to hiring smart people than personal genius. Crockett accused Musk of causing significant harm through his involvement with the Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE) and suggested that even former President Trump is distancing himself from Musk because of his declining popularity. She emphasized that public perceptions of Musk as a strategic genius are misplaced and warned not to conflate his wealth with competence. The remarks have generated both applause and backlash, with some commentators defending Musk's business achievements and others questioning Crockett's motives and approach. Crockett's comments have reignited debates about Musk's influence in business and politics, as well as the effectiveness of his leadership. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between political figures and prominent business leaders in the U.S.
