Elon Musk Promises Lawsuit After Jamaal Bowman Calls Him Nazi on CNN

Elon Musk is firing back against outrageous slander from former New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman, announcing Friday night that he will sue Bowman after the disgraced Democrat called him a “nazi” during a CNN appearance.

Musk responded decisively on X, writing, “Lawsuit inbound,” after a video circulated showing Bowman unleashing a vitriolic tirade. Bowman didn’t stop at Nazi accusations he also called Musk a “thief” and “incompetent,” criticizing his collaborative efforts with President Trump to clean up Washington’s bloated federal bureaucracy.

Musk has been instrumental in Trump's push to streamline government, most notably through the Department of Government Efficiency, an initiative inspired by Musk’s own ideas. Together, they’ve been working to root out waste, fraud, and abuse across federal agencies policies clearly ruffling feathers among Democrats clinging to bureaucratic control.

But Bowman’s unhinged remarks didn’t just cross a line; they come as Musk and his company, Tesla, face an alarming wave of targeted violence. In recent weeks:

• Over 10 Tesla factories, facilities, and charging stations have been vandalized, with some Teslas even set ablaze.

• A shadowy website published personal information of Tesla drivers, openly encouraging attacks on innocent Americans who simply purchased a car.

• Prominent Democrats, like former VP candidate Tim Walz, mocked Tesla’s tumbling stock price, gloating while ordinary investors and employees suffer.

Musk has called the coordinated attacks exactly what they are “Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!”

Bowman, who lost his primary race in 2024 after being soundly rejected by Democrat voters over his anti-Israel stance, seems desperate to stay relevant. But smearing a private citizen with baseless Nazi accusations, especially amidst a climate of violence against Musk’s company, crosses the line into outright defamation.

The lawsuit isn’t just about defending Musk’s name it’s about drawing a line in the sand. For too long, leftist politicians have hurled inflammatory rhetoric without accountability, weaponizing words to stoke division and target political enemies.

Elon Musk’s legal action is a firm reminder: smear campaigns and reckless lies won’t go unanswered.
