Democrats and their winged monkeys in the media spent all day Friday melting down over SpaceX founder Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, with some of the fireworks going off on CNN.
The rocket and satellite company’s hotly anticipated initial public offering blew up the stock market, sending the share price up 19 percent as investors pounced on the largest IPO in history, triggering Democrats who fumed over the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief’s record-setting wealth.
On Friday’s edition of “CNN NewsNight,” the crew was all over the topic with their takes predictably breaking down along party lines, with Bakari Sellers throwing down the race card and Scott Jennings defending Musk and SpaceX amid the epic leftist temper tantrum.

“All day long, I’ve been listening to liberals count and spend Elon’s money for him. This envy, jealousy, hatred of success. Why is it immoral?” Jennings asked after patiently listening to the resentful babbling of his leftist colleagues.
“Why is it wrong for somebody in our system, our capitalist system, in the greatest nation on earth, to go out and build a company, build companies, build technologies, go into space, aim to go put a colony on Mars, give internet to half the world, all the things he’s doing?” Jennings continued. “Why is any of this wrong or bad? Why would we want to discourage entrepreneurship? Why would we want to discourage anybody building anything?”
The envy poured out of Cari Champion, who said that nobody should be allowed to amass a trillion dollars, which Jennings smacked down, pointing out that rich people already pay their share of taxes.

Cari Champion literally says people “shouldn’t be allowed to have a trillion dollars.”

“I got news for you. We already tax the rich,” he shot back. “But is it for us to sit around and say, ‘There’s a limit on what you can build, there’s a limit on what you can earn, and it’s now my job to tell you what to do with your money?’”
And what would any conversation be without Sellers injecting race, which he did by accusing Musk of being a white supremacist, a common refrain with black Democrats.

What a deranged guys Sellers can’t handle success that doesn’t come from government grift. Watch this meltdown:

“Elon Musk is a white supremacist,” declared Sellers, regurgitating discredited talking points about the impact of shutting down the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which had become a conduit for Democrat money laundering.
“This is the same person who took a hatchet to USAID, and the end result of what we’re seeing is that there are, there are thousands of women and children who have died because of the cuts,” he said.
“America has become weaker because we’ve receded from the world order when it comes to our soft power,” he added, giving a shout-out to former President George W. Bush, who has been thoroughly rehabilitated in the eyes of the left.
“Elon Musk is a white supremacist,” Sellers declared, also accusing the Tesla/SpaceX CEO of championing the “Great Replacement Theory,” which, as has been made evident by the invasion of illegal aliens and resistance to sending them back, is not a conspiracy theory at all.
Democrats can weep and gnash their teeth until the cows come home, but at the end of the day, Musk is now a trillionaire, and SpaceX is a triumph of American capitalism.
