Rep. Ilhan Omar Calls Elon Musk ‘One of the Dumbest People on Earth’ – Twitchy

Back when DEI was under assault, and Harvard’s president was being investigated for plagiarism, there came a lot of criticism from the black community about “mediocre white men” like, say, Elon Musk. Musk, founder or co-founder of SpaceX, Neuralink, and xAI, not to mention CEO of Tesla and owner of X, is one of the dumbest people on Earth, according to Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was triggered by Musk suggesting that imported Somalis would vote for her.

This has been happening for years.

Ilhan Omar is the most obvious example. A large number of relatively recently arrived Somalis will elect only a Somali to Congress in that Minnesota district.

This is much more subtle, but just as bad, in many other parts of America. https://t.co/IuIksqHwZV

You are one of the dumbest people on earth, my district is literally a majority white district. Your conspiracy theories are laughable and should have no place in a society that cares about facts. https://t.co/FgYEoOVZZk

The dumbest people on Earth are the ones who voted for her, white or Somali.

The person who married her brother and the person who believes the world is going to end in five years both think that Elon Musk is dumb. 🤪 https://t.co/bQc3b0Lj9l pic.twitter.com/rRARDBLBQo

How many rockets have you launched into space again?

Here’s how we can settle this: Have @IlhanMN and @elonmusk take a proctored IQ test and publish the results!

That would be a bigger disaster than Elizabeth Warren’s DNA test.

Yeah. The richest man in the world is one of the dumbest.

You are going to be investigated, and nothing you say will stop that.

Your district is crawling with Somali’s who have been fast tracked to permanent residency, scam/steal federal & state benefits, weasel all their relatives in, destroy school districts, capture & cook our pets.

Go away. You married your Somali pirate brother in order to scam us!

We are waiting for the contributions to society from the “Learing Centers” across the upper Midwest.

This is the woman who said that investigating billions in fraud in Minnesota is “wasting so much of our taxpayer resources.”
