Former Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman called Elon Musk a “thief” and “N*zi” on CNN.

“The American people do not trust Elon Musk. And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position,” Bowman said.

“He’s incompetent. He’s a thief. He’s a N*zi. People don’t trust him. Period,” he added.

“I’ve had enough. Lawsuit inbound,” Musk responded.

From the New York Post:

Leftists accused the billionaire of making a “N*zi salute” while he addressed a crowd on Trump’s Inauguration Day in January. Groups such as the Anti-Defamation League have determined it was simply an “awkward gesture,” and Musk denied intentionally making a Nazi salute.

Musk didn’t elaborate on any details of the planned lawsuit. However, he appears to be trying to pursue a defamation case against Bowman. Defamation cases have a legal high bar for public figures, because they are required to prove “actual malice” motivated a false statement against them.

An outcry of conservatives had urged Musk to file a lawsuit against Bowman, such as Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).

The remarks by the former Bronx and Westchester County rep came during an exchange with Joe Borelli, the ex-top Republican on the New York City Council, who suggested that Democrats were manufacturing a lot of the protests that have dogged GOP town halls with constituents over recent weeks.

“That’s not true. And this shows, again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk. And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position,” Bowman, who runs the super PAC Built to Win, countered.

Near the end of the segment, CNN host Abby Phillips tried to draw distance from Bowman’s incendiary attack against Musk.

Fox News reports:

Bowman, a former member of the progressive, left-wing “Squad” of Democrats of color in the House of Representatives, was defeated by George Latimer in July’s Democratic primary in New York’s 16th congressional district. Bowman, who accused Israel of “genocide” during its war against Hamas terrorists, claimed that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the deep-pocketed pro-Israel group, spent millions to “brainwash” voters against him.

The House notably censured Bowman in 2023 for pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol to interrupt government shutdown negotiations.

Those who supported Musk’s potential legal action included conservative journalist Andy Ngo, who notably garnered recognition after being assaulted by Antifa rioters in Portland, Oregon, in 2019.

“Accusing people of crimes is not protected opinion. CNN is putting itself at risk of liability for bringing on guests who repeat potentially defamatory claims unchallenged,” Ngo wrote.

“Sue him! Defamation against conservatives can’t go unaddressed or it will never end,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote from his personal X account.
