Elon Musk Threatens Legal Action Against Former ‘Squad’ Member Over Explosive Accusations
In a fiery escalation that’s igniting political and tech circles alike, Elon Musk has threatened to sue a former member of the progressive “Squad” over inflammatory public remarks that labeled him a “Nazi” and a “thief.”
The comments — made during a recent livestream interview — quickly went viral across social media, sparking outrage from Musk and his legal team. The unnamed ex-Congresswoman, once a rising star in the left-leaning bloc of the Democratic Party, didn’t hold back in her criticism of the billionaire tech mogul.
“He’s nothing but a modern-day Nazi hiding behind a pile of money,” she said during the stream. “He steals credit, ideas, and power from those beneath him. He’s a thief in a designer suit.”
The bold remarks have prompted a sharp response from Musk, who took to X (formerly Twitter) with a warning:
“Accusations like these aren’t just defamatory — they’re dangerous. Legal action is being prepared.”
Musk’s legal team has reportedly already sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding a retraction and public apology. Insiders say he is prepared to pursue defamation charges if the former congresswoman does not comply.
According to Musk’s legal counsel, the statements were “malicious, false, and recklessly made with intent to cause reputational harm.” They argue the comparisons to Nazism cross a legal line, potentially inciting threats or violence.
The former Squad member, however, is standing her ground — at least for now.
In a follow-up post, she wrote, “When billionaires think they’re untouchable, they threaten lawsuits to silence truth. I said what I said.”
The situation is causing a media frenzy, with supporters and critics on both sides chiming in. Musk loyalists argue that the accusations are slanderous and inflammatory — potentially setting a dangerous precedent if left unchallenged. Meanwhile, others are calling Musk’s legal threats an attempt to silence political dissent and criticism of the ultra-wealthy.
The tension comes at a time when Musk is already under increased scrutiny — from the direction of X’s content policies, to controversial labor issues at Tesla, to ongoing investigations into AI development at xAI. This latest spat adds fuel to a growing fire.
Though legal experts are divided on the likelihood of a defamation case succeeding — public figures face a high bar for proving damages — Musk’s team appears eager to set an example.
“If you want to publicly call someone a Nazi and a thief, you’d better have the receipts,” one legal analyst noted. “And right now, it doesn’t look like she does.”
Whether the case goes to court or fizzles out with a retraction remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Elon Musk isn’t letting this one slide.
Stay tuned — this drama’s just heating up.
