“I think the American people ought to be saying to Elon, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’” the Texas Senator said on Fox News.

Ted Cruz used a Fox News interview to act as a human shield for Elon Musk, demanding Americans get down and kiss the billionaire’s feet for his DOGE work.

Musk has called time on his stint at the Trump administration, with his 130-day “special government employee” status elapsing on May 30. His time at Trump’s side was tumultuous, with Tesla caught up in the pushback against his cost-cutting DOGE.

Cruz appears shocked by the backlash, telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening that Americans should be expressing deep gratitude to Musk and chanting “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

    I don’t think people are nasty enough to him. Until he’s a fucking hermit, too ashamed to show his face in public again because he knows everyone despises him, we need to be nastier.

    The only reason we aren’t far, far nastier to all of these criminals is because it’s illegal. But now that laws are becoming optional and arbitrary, soon we won’t have to worry about how nasty we get.

    They will have to worry, though.

    Musk cos played as a politician so he could lift sanctions and policies in the way of his companies. Now that he’s done that he’ll go back forcing himself on his secretaries

    He thinks we should be nice to Elon but he has no problem with people like Trump calling his wife ugly.

    Listen, I’ll gladly stop being nasty to Elon Musk. Just as soon as he kills himself.
