Rep. John Larson, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut’s 1st District since 1999, recently expressed his views on several issues involving Elon Musk and Donald Trump through a series of tweets. Larson's statements address concerns about privacy, education funding, and Social Security.
On March 20, 2025, Rep. Larson thanked several organizations for their efforts to protect Americans' privacy against Elon Musk in court. He emphasized the importance of vigilance, stating that "Today is a big step forward, but we can't take our eye off the ball." He called for Musk to testify before Congress to explain his future plans.
In a subsequent tweet on March 21, 2025, Larson addressed potential impacts on education by alleging that "Trump and Musk have their sights on the Department of Education." He criticized their purported agenda to redirect resources from children and teachers towards tax breaks for the wealthy.
Later that day, Larson voiced concerns over Social Security privatization efforts by Trump and Musk. He asserted that "Donald Trump and Elon Musk's goal is to privatize YOUR Social Security." Larson demanded transparency from both figures regarding their plans for this essential program.
