Often, there are threads on social media platforms where a thread, usually started by someone who is politically liberal, can make you wonder what they were thinking. Sometimes, they make substantial mistakes, like blaming one administration for the actions of a past administration, which becomes apparent with just a quick search on Google.
For instance, Congressman Greg Casar (D-TX) recently criticized the Trump administration on social media for allocating $400 million of taxpayer money to Tesla.
Donald Trump’s State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Elon Musk’s Tesla.
They got caught. Then they lied about it.
This isn’t efficiency — it’s corruption.https://t.co/LsXf3GyPFb

However, there was a significant issue with his statement. The deal with Tesla was actually facilitated by the Biden administration, not Trump. No funds were exchanged in this deal. Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, responded to the criticism and corrected the misguided Texas Democrat.
Greg Casar is a big fat liar 🤥 pic.twitter.com/U2r17IuYcX

Now, as if getting called out as a “big fat liar” by Elon Musk wasn’t enough, all of X leaped on the Texas Congressman like a pack of wolverines tearing apart a moose carcass.

Honestly, Congressman Casar could have looked it up himself. In, like I said, maybe six seconds. To Greg Casar, we can only say this: There’s this new thing all the kids are doing, Congressman, it’s called “the internet,” and it allows you to look things up without having to get in your car and drive to the library. You should look into it.
But wait! There’s more!
It was Biden State Department that issued that contract.
Trump asserted he has no intention of following through on it.
You are an idiot and a liar.

Hilarious! Taking a break from defending the @DNC‘s USAID theft of Billions of tax dollars… Desperate America-hating, Marxist Islamist serial liar @RepCasar is so pathetic that he forgets to mention it was a Biden contract!https://t.co/F63otpQ3Js

Oh, look – just as I was saying:
Congressman you are young, I’m sure you know about technology. All you need to do, or advise your staff to do, before putting something out like this is fact check in AI. You can use Perplexity or ChatGPT if you hate Elon/X/Grok. pic.twitter.com/Qzjehq1Oix

This is a serious case of “open mouth, insert foot.” But Tesla, a year ago the darling of the left for their “emissions-free” automobiles, has become the favorite target of the left’s corruption claims because the company’s CEO had the temerity to disagree with the leftist swamp.
My colleague Nick Arama did a couple of great pieces on this non-contract:
