A congressman was challenged after calling Elon Musk a ‘dick’ and his A++ response made everyone’s day just a little bit better
Full disclosure, we hadn’t come across Robert Garcia before but it’s fair to say we like him already.
The California Democratic congressman ruffled a feather or two after holding up an Elon Musk ‘dick pic’ during a committee meeting on Capitol Hill (don’t worry, it’s not really a dick. Well, not literally).
Garcia: “I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I’d bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk … ” pic.twitter.com/O16Z885bHV

But that’s not what brings us here.
We’re here because he was later challenged on CNN whether it was really the done thing for politicians to go around calling the President, sorry, Elon Musk a dick.
And his A++ response made everyone’s day just a little bit better.
CNN: Do you think that calling Elon Musk “a dick” is effective messaging?
Rep. Robert Garcia: “Well, he is a dick.”
I approve this message.

Last word to the man himself (no, not Musk).
