Maxine Waters delivered an impassioned speech in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, voicing strong disapproval of both former President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk. Speaking at a rally organized by Democratic lawmakers to protest Musk\u2019s influence and access to information at the Treasury Department, Waters accused him of overstepping his authority and taking advantage of government resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lajmesot.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-15-at-23.44.04.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54624\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have told you that you\u2019ve made enough money off our government yourself, and now you want to take everybody else\u2019s payroll and make sure that they don\u2019t make the kind of money that you\u2019ve made. Oh, you want to use our money to go to Mars,\u201d Waters declared in her speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accusations of Power Grab and Economic Domination<br>Waters extended her criticism beyond Musk, targeting Trump and other billionaires, whom she accused of attempting to consolidate power over the nation\u2019s political and economic landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re in a crisis in this country because Trump and Elon Musk and the billionaires have decided they\u2019re going to put us all in our place. They\u2019re going to run this country. They\u2019re going to make sure that they take over everything,\u201d Waters said to an energized crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She then rallied her audience to resist what she described as a growing power grab. \u201cAre we going to let them do that? Are we going to let them run this government in the way that they can make even more money and so they won\u2019t stop? It is so brazen. Every day they\u2019re taking new actions. They\u2019re taking executive actions. Every day they\u2019re doing something,\u201d she exclaimed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic California Rep.
