The House of Representatives recently hit a roadblock when Speaker Mike Johnson’s spending bill was sidelined, thanks to intense opposition from President Donald Trump, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, and other influential Republicans.
Predictably, the far-left wing of the Democrat Party erupted in outrage.
Among the loudest voices of discontent was Florida Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost, elected in 2022 as one of the youngest and most progressive members of Congress.
Frost took to social media to launch an unhinged tirade against Musk, accusing the billionaire of wielding undue influence over Republican lawmakers.
“An unelected billionaire was crowned co-President by the Republican Party,” he wrote.
“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.”

He didn’t stop there. The unhinged leftist doubled down, accusing Musk of empowering the wealthy at the expense of working people.
“And just like that, Republican Unelected Co-President Elon Musk has killed the bill to keep the government from shutting down on Friday,” he wrote.
“All he had to do was make a few social media posts. Trump said he’d empower working people, all he’s done is empower the ultra wealthy.”

But Musk wasn’t about to let Frost’s remarks slide. In a blistering reply, Musk fired back, “He’s just mad he didn’t get his 40% raise to a quarter million dollars a year. “Empathy for working people” my ass.”
The people of central Florida will kick this jackass out in 2 years

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

Not content with a single jab, Musk followed up with a warning: “The people of central Florida will kick this jackass out in 2 years.”
Frost taunted Musk in response: “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.”

Frost’s meltdown is emblematic of a broader trend among left-wing politicians: grandstanding and virtue-signaling while ignoring real issues affecting their constituents.
Central Florida, the area Frost represents, has been plagued by allegations of election fraud, thanks to whistleblowers like Cynthia Harris, a former Orange County Commissioner candidate.
Harris exposed a sophisticated ballot-harvesting operation in Orlando’s African-American communities, funded by liberal organizations and allegedly paying activists $10 per ballot.
Voter Voice reported in 2022:
Former Orange County Commissioner candidate Cynthia Harris filed a sworn affidavit in late August with the Secretary of State’s office alleging that illegal operations to collect third-party ballots have been going on for years in the Orlando area where voting activists are paid $10 for each ballot they collect.
She described an intricate system funded by liberal leaning organizations that dispatch ballot brokers into black communities to pressure voters to turn over their ballots. The $10 fee per ballot is divvied up among the parties who help complete the harvesting.
The collection and delivery of ballots by third parties is illegal in Florida.
The newly created Office of Election Crimes and Security did a preliminary inquiry on Harris’ allegations and concluded there was sufficient evidence to warrant a full criminal probe by the state police, the Florida State Department told Just the News on Wednesday.
