Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., on Tuesday shot down the Democrats’ assertion that billionaire Elon Musk is making White House decisions as “co-president,” claiming the title is more fitting for advisors to former President Joe Biden.

During a Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., repeatedly referred to Musk as “co-president.”

“We are at an unprecedented moment. Our financial systems are facing huge risks from the economic chaos of President Trump and his Co-President, Elon Musk,” Warren said, referring to threats of tariffs, government employee layoffs and cuts to National Institutes of Health grants.

“Now, Co-President Musk and his [Office of Management and Budget] director have frozen all work at the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau.”

Britt said Musk’s role in rooting out waste under the Department of Government Efficiency [DOGE] is no surprise and had been announced as part of President Trump’s agenda during the campaign.

“Conversations about a co-president referencing Elon Musk, referencing the work that DOGE is doing, I think it’s important to remember that President Trump ran on this. I mean, he said, ‘we’re going to look for wasteful spending across our government,’” Britt said Tuesday.

“We’re $36 trillion in debt. y’all. That’s not only fiscally irresponsible, it is actually morally irresponsible. And the difference in this administration and the last administration is that President Trump is actually the final arbiter,” the senator said.

Addressing Warren and her other Democratic colleagues, Britt alleged it was rich for them to attach the “co-president” label to Musk when Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain and First Lady Jill Biden made executive decisions.

Britt alluded to reports that Biden showed signs of mental decline during his presidency. Biden dropped his 2024 reelection bid nearly a month after a disastrous debate performance raised questions about how he would handle another four years in office.

“And it’s interesting that none of you had anything to say over the last four years when it is clear that our commander-in-chief was not in command. And if we’re going to use the term ‘co-president,’ then let’s go back and say ‘Co-President Jake Sullivan,’ ‘Co-President Ron Klain,’ ‘Co-President Jill Biden,’” Britt said.

“I mean, it seems that some of the biggest decisions were made during the president’s afternoon nap time,” she said.

On social media, Alabama’s junior senator elaborated on her statements from the hearing.

“We had co-presidents for four years—Jill Biden, Jake Sullivan, Ron Klain just to name a few. Now that President Trump is back in office, we have a true Commander in Chief again. Democrats can’t stand his team is helping execute his agenda and fulfill his electoral mandate,” Britt tweeted.
