With Jasmine Crockett’s birthday fast approaching, she has just one wish — and it involves Elon Musk.
During a livestream for #TeslaTakedown on Wednesday, the Texas Democrat stated that her birthday wish for March 29 is “for Elon to be taken down,” emphasizing she is calling for nonviolent action. She elaborated on her reasoning, making it clear that her concerns run deeper than a personal vendetta.
“I have learned as I serve on the DOGE Oversight Committee that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money,” Crockett explained of her role on the congressional subcommittee ostensibly seeking to cut government waste alongside Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

The congresswoman also expressed pride in the movement, which has chosen her birthday for its “biggest day of action” — a plan to stage protests at 500 Tesla showrooms worldwide.
“We are fighting for our country. We’re fighting for democracy. We’re fighting for our freedoms,” she declared.
She then made it clear that by “fighting,” she was strictly speaking in a figurative sense, emphasizing the nonviolent nature of the movement.
“I think that it is important that we say that we stand for freedom in this country,” she said. “We stand for our Constitution in this country. And the best way to show that we are American is by using our constitutional rights and deciding that we are going to engage in protest.”
Crockett went on to describe protests as a necessary way to “yell and scream” at “people that are trying to close their ears to everything that the people are crying out for.”

“If our government refuses to listen, there’s another way to really make them think hard about listening to you and it comes in the form of your protests,” she asserted.
Following her passionate remarks, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade wasted no time in distorting her message, while also dragging actor John Cusack into the mix with a wildly inaccurate claim.
“And this guy, John Cusack, who’s an actor with marginal success, is actually calling on March 29th to be the day to blow up Teslas! And Crockett too! She — he should be indicted!” Kilmeade proclaimed.
