There is no definitive evidence from credible, primary sources confirming that Representative Jasmine Crockett explicitly called on her supporters to "take down" Elon Musk on her birthday, March 29th. The claim appears to stem from posts on X, where users have made assertions about such a statement, but these posts lack verifiable backing from official statements, news reports, or Crockett’s own confirmed communications as of the current date, March 19, 2025.
Examination of Available Information:
Several X posts dated March 19, 2025, suggest that Crockett asked activists or supporters to "take down" Elon Musk or Tesla on her birthday. Those names of those accounts have been redacted from this article.
These posts link to URLs (e.g., https://t.co/t7LOvU35un, https://t.co/Fvmim54kaT), but without access to the content behind these links or corroborating evidence, they remain unverified claims. X posts alone are not conclusive factual evidence, as they can reflect opinions, exaggerations, or misinformation.
Lack of Primary Sources: As of March 19, 2025, no reputable news outlets (e.g., Newsweek, HuffPost, or Fox News) cited in the provided web results report Crockett making such a specific call on this date. Her previous criticisms of Musk, such as her February 25, 2025, statement telling him to "f*** off" (reported by Newsweek, HuffPost, and others), demonstrate her outspoken opposition to him, particularly regarding his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, these earlier statements do not mention her birthday or a call to "take down" Musk on March 29.
Contextual Analysis: Crockett’s birthday is indeed March 29 (she was born in 1981, making her 44 in 2025), which aligns with the date mentioned in the X posts. However, the leap from her known criticisms of Musk to a specific call for supporters to "take down" him or Tesla on that date lacks substantiation in the available data. The term "take down" could imply various actions—political, economic, or even violent—but no evidence clarifies her intent or confirms the statement.
Based on the information available up to March 19, 2025, there is no confirmed source (e.g., a direct quote from Crockett, a press release, or a credible news report) verifying that Jasmine Crockett called on her supporters to "take down" Elon Musk on her birthday. The claim appears to originate from X posts, which are inconclusive without further evidence. Given Crockett’s history of strong rhetoric against Musk, it’s plausible she made a critical remark that was exaggerated or misinterpreted, but as of now, this remains speculative.
