On May 7, 2025, Slotkin addressed concerns regarding President Trump's cryptocurrency initiative. She described it as "an unprecedented opportunity for corruption and bribery" and emphasized the need for legislative measures like the End Crypto Corruption Act to curb potential abuses. She stressed the importance of a regulatory framework that supports industry success while protecting consumers from exploitation by politicians and other bad actors.

Later that day, at 21:39 UTC, Slotkin shared a lighter moment with a tweet about a retreat day alongside Senator LBR, stating simply "Retreat day @SenLBR".

In another tweet posted at 22:00 UTC on the same day, Slotkin turned her attention to international affairs concerning South Asia. She highlighted Michigan's significant Indian and Pakistani-American communities and expressed vigilance over developments between India and Pakistan. Her message underscored that "stability in South Asia is incredibly important" for both local communities and those living abroad.

Elissa Slotkin has been actively involved in political discourse since she took office after replacing Mike Bishop in 2019. At age 46, she continues to engage with her constituents on both domestic issues and global affairs.
