Democrats Called Elon a Fascist Nazi for Months, Now They Want Him Back [WATCH]

After months of attacks branding Elon Musk as a fascist and accusing him of authoritarian tendencies, several Democrats are now signaling interest in bringing the tech billionaire back into their political camp following his public split with President Donald Trump, according to a report by Politico.

So now that Elon Musk has publicly come out against a Trump-supported policy, does that mean everyone has to pull their “Anti Elon Tesla Club” bumper stickers off and act like they didn’t just call him a fascist, stage protests and attack random cars like two minutes ago?

Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund: What Could It Mean For Your Money?

The shift in tone from some within the Democratic Party comes after Musk and President Trump exchanged pointed remarks throughout the week, culminating in Musk calling for Trump’s impeachment and alleging the president is named in the Jeffrey Epstein documents.

President Trump, responding to the allegations, stated Musk “went crazy” and suggested he might revoke Musk’s federal contracts.

The conflict marks a significant change in the relationship between the two.

Musk endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential race and donated nearly $300 million to his campaign.

He was later appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a position he used to promote aggressive reductions in federal spending and staff.

His efforts drew sharp criticism from Democrats who accused him of undermining government institutions.

In recent days, Musk publicly criticized the administration’s flagship economic legislation, calling the “one big, beautiful” spending bill a “disgusting abomination.”

A White House official told the Daily Caller that Musk had grown increasingly frustrated over being denied access and influence, describing his behavior as resembling that of “a second president.”

Following his alignment with the Trump administration, Musk became a regular target of Democratic lawmakers. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz were among those who accused Musk of authoritarian behavior.

Multiple Democratic-led states also launched lawsuits tied to his role at DOGE. Despite these developments, some Democrats now see an opening to regain Musk’s political support.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), whose district includes much of Silicon Valley, told Politico that Democrats should consider re-engaging with Musk.

“We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with,” Khanna said, referencing issues like science funding, clean technology, and support for international students.

Per Ro Khanna: “We should ultimately be trying to convince [Elon] that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with.”

Or, maybe you could try actually having values he agrees with.

Khanna later wrote on X, “If Biden had a big supporter criticize him, Trump would have hugged him the next day. When we refused to meet with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump embraced him & won. We can be the party of sanctimonious lectures, or the party of FDR that knows how to win & build a progressive majority.”

Other Democrats remain skeptical.

Longtime party strategist James Carville questioned the effort to re-engage Musk.

“Why do we want him? I mean, what does he bring? … Look at the damage he’s done to the federal government,” Carville said in May.

Carville is supposed to be the smart one…

On @elonmusk:

“‘Well, I can’t imagine that after all of this that he’d want — I mean, what does he bring? … Look at the damage he’s done to the federal government,’ Carville said. ‘Why do we want him?’”https://t.co/nr7ynjCBle

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) also voiced concern.

“The Dems, we’ve been dumping all over Musk and vandalizing Teslas or whatever, and now, suddenly, we might be more back into him,” Fetterman told reporters.

Liam Kerr, co-founder of the WelcomeFest convention for centrist Democrats in Washington, said Democrats should be open to welcoming Musk back.

“Anything that he does that moves more toward Democrats hurts Republicans,” Kerr told Politico.

GOP polling analyst Jon McHenry warned against the political risks.

“Using Elon Musk for your own purposes is like using a wild tiger for transportation: you might get a ride out of it, but the experience ends with you getting mauled,” McHenry said.

On Thursday, Musk posted a series of messages on X, proposing the formation of a new political party that would serve as an alternative to both Republicans and Democrats.

He described it as a party that would “actually represent the 80% in the middle.”

Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?

When asked about Musk’s criticism, President Trump told CNN on Friday, “I’m not even thinking about Elon. He’s got a problem, the poor guy’s got a problem.”

Trump apparently just spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash and told her:

“I’m not even thinking about Elon. He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem.”

Whether the two will reconcile remains unclear.

In the meantime, the political future of Musk—and where he may align next—remains a topic of speculation.
