Elon Musk Calls Democrat Ro Khanna ‘Robber Khanna’ in Latest Political Spat

Elon Musk doubled down on his political attacks by calling Representative Ro Khanna “Robber Khanna” on social media. The insult, a play on Khanna’s surname, appears to reference Musk’s ongoing criticism of certain Democratic policies, particularly those related to taxation and regulation. Khanna, a California Democrat and vocal advocate for progressive tech policies, has previously clashed with Musk over labor practices and cryptocurrency regulation.

This latest outburst signals a more aggressive tone from Musk, who has increasingly used his platform to target individual politicians. The remark comes amid broader tensions between Musk and the Biden administration, which has been critical of his management of Twitter. Markets have shown little direct reaction, but the exchange underscores the volatile nature of Musk’s public persona, which can influence sentiment around his companies.
