Trump Spox Karoline Leavitt Snubs Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Toothless’ Elon Musk Warning With ‘Pocahontas’ Jibe

President-elect Donald Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt slammed Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for playing “political games” with a “toothless” letter demanding strict conflict-of-interest rules to govern Elon Musk’s involvement in the incoming administration.

Warren’s letter criticized Musk’s proximity to Trump, warning that he would be in a “position to influence billions of dollars of government contracts and regulatory enforcement” and that without guardrails the billionaire tech mogul’s role was “an invitation for corruption on a scale not seen in our lifetimes.”

The senator pointed to Musk’s leadership of companies like SpaceX, Tesla, and X, which collectively benefit from federal funds and contracts. Warren’s letter asked whether Musk would recuse himself from matters involving his companies and posed 14 pointed questions about his ethical commitments.

“The American public has no way of knowing whether the advice that he is whispering to you in secret is good for the country — or merely good for his own bottom line,” she added.

However, speaking to the Washington Post, Leavitt dismissed Warren’s demands with a pointed attack, reviving a nickname Trump uses to mock Warren’s past claims of Native American ancestry.

President Trump has assembled the most impressive and qualified team of innovators, entrepreneurs, and geniuses to advise and staff our government. Pocahontas can play political games and send toothless letters, but the Trump-Vance transition will continue to be held to the highest ethical and legal standards possible — a standard unfamiliar to a career politician whose societal impact is 1/1024th of Elon Musk’s.
