Elissa Slotkin U.S. House of Representatives from Michigan | Official U.S. House Headshot
Elissa Slotkin, a U.S. Congress member representing Michigan's 7th district since 2019, has recently expressed concerns on social media regarding the influence of certain economic policies and decisions affecting her constituents. Born in New York City in 1976, Slotkin has a background that includes a degree from Cornell University and currently resides in Lansing.
On February 19, 2025, Slotkin criticized Elon Musk for allegedly allowing "Chinese interests" into American automotive supply chains. She argued that "his interests don't align with Michiganders" and accused him of prioritizing personal gain over local economic welfare.
Later that day, she commented on rising egg prices in the United States. According to Slotkin, instead of addressing this issue effectively, "Elon Musk gave pink slips (accidentally or not) to the experts who protect our food supply," suggesting these actions undermine security and increase costs.
In another post on the same day, Slotkin shared her speech delivered on the Senate floor criticizing a proposed Republican budget resolution. She stated that it "does nothing to protect the personal or economic security of Michiganders" and claimed it serves primarily as a means to pass tax cuts benefiting billionaires like Elon Musk.
