MSNBC hosts went off about Elon Musk’s all-encompassing involvement in U.S. government — and blasted Democrats and others for what they consider a nonchalant response.

In a fiery discussion on MSNBC’s The Weekend Saturday, co-host Michael Steele was apoplectic over what he considers to be indifference on the part of Democrats about Musk and the purge of government employees being carried out by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“I’d just like you to show that you give a damn!” Steele said with a raised voice. “That you got a little emotion about the fact that people are losing their jobs indiscriminately! That this individual sitting down at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has given absolute power to one man, who brings his son into the into the Oval Office, whose son says to him, ‘you’re not the president! You shouldn’t be in that chair!’ Now, where did he get that from? He got it from his daddy! Because that’s what his daddy thinks of the man who brought him into the Oval Office.

“So I’d just like to see somebody wake the hell up and get excited about the fact that your country is under assault!”

Steele went on to argue that the barbarians “are not at the gate anymore” and have already encroached upon all aspects of American life.

“They’re in your bedrooms!” Steele said. “They’re in your living rooms! They’re in your businesses! They’ve got they got your data, dumb ass! They got all your stuff! Elon Musk has his tentacles in everything you’re doing! Not just off of X, but he’s in the Treasury Department! He’s in the Labor Department! He’s in Department of Homeland Security! And nobody seems to give a damn! So that’s all I want — somebody to show that they care enough to get off their fat ass and say something about it!”

Steele’s colleague Symone Sanders-Townsend added a dire warning of her own.

“I used to not be one of those people that were like ‘we’re not going to have elections in four years,'” she said. “I’m like, ‘ya’ll gotta chill out.’ [But] I am thoroughly concerned about how we survive.”

Sanders-Townsend likened the current state of affairs to the plot of the recently-released dystopian movie “Civil War.”

“All hell was breaking loose in Washington, D.C., and in places all across the country,” Sanders-Townsend said. “And there were people in the middle of the country that were just living their lives like nothing was happening. And I think that is actually where we are. And there are going to be a lot of people that are going continue to just go on about their daily lives as though Rome is not burning.”
