The latest buzz in the Democratic circle is all about Elon Musk, and it’s not the kind of buzz favorable to free-market enthusiasts. With their typical flair for the dramatic, Democrats have adopted the phrase “Nobody elected Elon Musk” as their new slogan. It’s as if they’ve misplaced their sense of humor along with their political judgement. Jim Geraghty from National Review humorously pointed out what could be their strategic misfire, suggesting that they’re treating DOGE like it’s some terrible scheme that sprung up from the shadows to ensnare innocent Americans.
Democrats seem to be grappling with the wild world of cryptocurrency, particularly Musk’s influential tweets about Dogecoin, which they suddenly consider a deep threat to democracy itself. It’s utterly amusing to watch them try to vilify someone whose influence on the market has been far more benign than a government bailout. For those who prefer personal liberty and market choices over heavy-handed regulation, watching this panic is akin to witnessing someone get spooked by their own reflection.

Musk, whether adored or scorned, embodies the entrepreneurial spirit that frightens liberals to their very core. Why? Because he proves that success doesn’t always come from government intervention. Instead, it is a product of innovation, risk-taking, and an eye for opportunity. The left seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel, and now they’re aiming at a billionaire whose only real crime is thinking outside the box—and possibly tweeting during breakfast.
What the Democrats really need to understand is that the free market doesn’t require a democratic election to establish who can thrive in it. Much like how no one voted for Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk is merely leveraging his unique position to stir the pot. The fact that they’re casting him as the poster boy for anti-democratic forces shows how out of touch they are with reality and how desperate they’ve become to create a narrative to fit their agenda.
In an age where innovation should be celebrated, watching bright minds getting ridiculed by political operatives is entertainment at its finest. The irony is rich—Musk has shown that imagination often leads to wealth and success, while Democrats continue to cling to the notion that a ballot box should dictate who gets to play in the big leagues of finance. For true conservatives, the more the left gripples and articulates their knee-jerk reactions to business moguls, the clearer it becomes: they simply don’t understand what makes America great.
