Clay Higgins on Musk’s Bold Moves in DC [WATCH]

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) issued a stark warning about the upcoming challenges within a congressional committee, citing Elon Musk’s involvement as a key factor in disrupting the status quo.

Speaking candidly on the House floor, Higgins emphasized the urgent need to address the nation’s staggering $36 trillion debt.

“My colleagues can expect conflict in this committee. There’s going to be a lot of conflict, and Elon, Mr. Musk, is absolutely bringing conflict to the United States focus,” Higgins stated.

The congressman criticized what he called the “big government machine,” blaming it for eroding individual rights and freedoms while burdening the country with unsustainable debt.

“We are in conflict with the big government machine that has been devouring the wealth and smashing the individual rights, liberties and freedoms of the American people whom we serve,” Higgins said.

He outlined the gravity of the national debt, presenting a sobering calculation of its long-term implications.

“We are $36 trillion in debt. That’s 36,000 billion dollars. Were we to balance the budget and run a $1 billion surplus, it would require 36,000 years to address that debt. And that’s not funny, and we’re not playing,” he said.

Higgins made it clear that the anticipated conflict in the committee is not only necessary but critical to securing the nation’s future.

He tied Musk’s involvement to the broader fight against what he sees as government overreach.

“With men like Elon Musk coming in, working with our president who my people elected, you can absolutely look forward to many discussions that will cause wailing and gnashing of teeth across this town that has crippled the future of our country with debt,” Higgins said.

The congressman also stressed the generational impact of the country’s current fiscal trajectory, urging action to protect future Americans.

“Think that’s funny, young man, talk to your great-grandchildren, your yet unborn generations that is inheriting the debt that the machine of DC has forced upon our country. You should look forward to that conflict, because we’ll be saving a generation, yet unborn of our country, and that’s exactly what we intend to do,” Higgins asserted.
