Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has criticized Elon Musk’s call to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an agency that she helped create.
Last month, Musk took to X to declare, “Delete CFPB. There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies.” Musk is co-leading the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative in the upcoming Trump administration that is designed to reduce federal waste.
In an interview with WBUR, Warren believed Musk’s wealth puts him at odds with the American public.
“Whenever billionaires are talking about how they think things would work better for ordinary families, hang on to your wallet,” she said, adding the agency was working successfully. “The CFPB has returned more than $20 billion directly to people who were cheated. It’s the cop on the beat that also has prevented a whole lot of other cheating.”
Musk did not respond to Warren’s comments, but in the past the two frequently criticized each other. Last week, Warren claimed Musk’s DOGE role raised conflict of interest concerns while Musk posted an artificial intelligence-generated image of Warren in Native American-style clothing, a reference to the controversy of how Warren gained educational and employment benefits by claiming a Native American racial identification.
However, Warren also offered rare praise for President-elect Trump’s by highlighting his proposal to temporarily cap credit card interest rates at 10%.
“That would be a real boost for millions of families across this country,” Warren said. “If he’s true to his word here, and I think we ought to take them at his word, then the CFPB can help him do that.”

Who in their right mind (something we haven’t had in 4 years) would listen to this woman on any issue. She has clearly cheated to get into a school, lied about issues at hand, and has no comprehension of how to solve problems. All she knows is to create problems.

Warren needs to retire as a lot of the old thinking continues to push their agenda. I can respect the opinion of people whom have achieved great things on their own but in most cases in Washington they all worked for somebody and never had to make payroll.
Speak for yourself Ms Warren. I personally have more confidence with Elon’s advice than your cheating self! Get over yourself Elizabeth.
She’s a socialist. By mentioning the billionaire part shows she doesn’t understand or like success. And she lies- lies-lies
She is what is wrong with our government. 👇
Elizabeth Warren has faced accusations of misleading or lying about several aspects of her personal and professional background. Here’s a summary based on available information:
– **Native American Heritage**: Warren claimed Native American ancestry, which she said was based on family stories. She listed herself as Native American in professional directories for law schools and was accused of using this to advance her academic career. A DNA test later showed she had a distant Native American ancestor, but this was criticized for not aligning with tribal citizenship or direct lineage recognized by Native American tribes. Her claims and the DNA test were seen by some as an attempt to gain professional advantages.
– **Education of Her Children**: Warren stated that her children attended public schools, but it was later revealed that her son attended private schools after fifth grade. This contradicted her public statements and was seen as misleading, particularly in the context of discussions about education policy.
– **Employment Termination**: Warren claimed she was fired from a teaching job in the early 1970s because she was “visibly pregnant.” However, records and previous statements by Warren suggested she left her job before the contract was up, and she was offered another contract, which she chose not to accept. This was used to question her credibility regarding her narrative of workplace discrimination.
– **Professional Achievements**: There have been claims that she benefited from her listed Native American heritage when hired at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, although Warren has stated she was not aware her heritage was being used in this context and that her academic record and expertise were the reasons for her appointments.
