Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., brushed off Elon Musk's statement about funding moderates in key Democratic districts and said he didn't know anyone in his party that was afraid of Musk's "money."
CNN's Victor Blackwell asked Clyburn on Saturday about Musk's statement posted to X and wondered how Democrats would respond to Musk's potential financial involvement in Democratic races.
"Well, you outwork them. That’s what you do. You’re at work now. Look, I’m a child of the 60s. I grew up here in South Carolina. I missed a vote yesterday because I was a part of eulogizing the gentleman from very modest backgrounds who brought that flag down off the statehouse dome and started that effort all over the south to get rid of all of these Confederate emblems. We did that with a lot of money against us," Clyburn began.
Musk posted to social media, responding to a video of Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., and said "forgot to mention that I’m also going to be funding moderate candidates in heavily Democrat districts, so that the country can get rid of those who don’t represent them."
