The battle in Washington heated up as Speaker Mike Johnson’s spending bill faced opposition from some of the biggest names in conservative politics, including former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
Their vocal pushback has enraged left-wing Democrats, sparking a fiery online clash with Florida Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the youngest and among the most radical members of Congress.
Frost wasted no time taking his frustration to social media, targeting Musk with a string of accusations.

In a tweet dripping with melodrama, Frost declared, “An unelected billionaire was crowned co-President by the Republican Party. They’ve given him the influence to make a damn post that throws a spending bill into limbo cause House Republicans are scared of him. No greater example of oligarchy. Where the ultra-wealthy run the show.”

Not content with his initial outburst, Frost doubled down: “And just like that, Republican Unelected Co-President Elon Musk has killed the bill to keep the government from shutting down on Friday. All he had to do was make a few social media posts.”

Musk, never one to back down from a fight, delivered a scathing reply, cutting through Frost’s posturing. “He’s just mad he didn’t get his 40% raise to a quarter million dollars a year. ‘Empathy for working people’ my ass,” Musk shot back, exposing Frost’s hypocrisy.

Frost, clearly rattled, fired back, “Elon is just mad that this site is worth 80% less than when he bought it. ‘Great businessman’ my ass.”

But Musk wasn’t finished. In a follow-up blow, Musk warned, “The people of central Florida will kick this jackass out in 2 years.”

Frost attempted to taunt Musk one last time, suggesting, “OK, Elon… Here’s the candidate form for your run against me. The people of Central Florida don’t really like corrupt rich guys though.”

This public meltdown highlights a recurring theme among left-wing politicians: grandstanding and deflecting while failing to address the real issues facing their constituents.
Central Florida, represented by Frost, has faced serious allegations of election fraud. Cynthia Harris, a former Orange County Commissioner candidate, brought attention to an alleged ballot-harvesting operation funded by liberal organizations.
According to Harris, activists were reportedly paid $10 per ballot in Orlando’s African-American communities, an illegal practice under Florida law.
Harris detailed this in a sworn affidavit, claiming the operation exploited vulnerable voters by pressuring them to surrender their ballots. Florida’s newly established Office of Election Crimes and Security deemed Harris’ evidence sufficient for a full criminal investigation by state authorities.
While Frost wastes time battling Musk on social media, his constituents remain concerned about real issues like election integrity. It’s no wonder Musk’s prediction of Frost’s political downfall resonates with many Floridians who are tired of empty rhetoric from their so-called leaders.
