New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's speech for our nation's 250th birthday has gotten a lot of well-deserved criticism.
It was pretty awful on the whole.
But there was one particular part on Friday that got a lot of attention, in which he lambasted America, attacked Elon Musk, and demonized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The swipe against Musk was particularly nasty, saying children go hungry while the world's first trillionaire (Musk) "hungers for more."
In that you can see the evil of the radical left - to demonize the people who are actually achieving and whipping up envy and class warfare.
But Elon Musk responded, decimating Mamdani with one simple fact.
"Mamdani has built nothing.
He is a taker, never a maker," Musk declared.
Bingo.
Mamdani is basically a nepo baby who had wealthy parents and went to an expensive private school, whose work history could be described as "light," at best.
He worked briefly as a "foreclosure counselor" for an advocacy organization whose purpose was "organizing and advocating for systemic changes."
Oh, and he was a "rapper" before he went into politics.
It's sort of laughable for Mamdani to talk about "calloused hands," given his work history.
But it's symptomatic of the champagne socialists we've seen.
Mamdani isn't even worthy of mentioning Musk's name, given all that Musk has achieved with all of his companies.
He creates wealth, employs more than 160,000 employees, and contributes things no one else can, such as with SpaceX and Neuralink.
His real "crime"?
He supports President Donald Trump.
Notice you don't hear any of these leftists coming for Reid Hoffman or George Soros, the guys who contribute to Democrats.
That's the real problem here.
The Democrats think they have the right to seize money from Musk because how dare he be so rich?
Regardless of whether they are, themselves, rich.
But Elon wasn't the only one who found some problems with what Mamdani said.
So did Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis (R).
He laid a big smackdown on Mamdani for being "regressive.
"When I see the Mamdanis of the world, they're basically offering these ideas, they claim they're progressive.
They're really regressive.
They are things that the founding fathers rejected," DeSantis declared, talking about how rights come from God and how these ideas fly in the face of the principles of limited government on which our country was founded.
The governor added:
"Their ideas have failed throughout history.
And we have a chance now with 250 to look back and say — we're inheritors of an awfully good legacy.
We got lucky to have the Founding Fathers pledge their lives, fortune, and sacred honor the way they did when they did it!"
