Rep. Mike Levin, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 49th district since 2019, has recently voiced his concerns on social media regarding policies affecting Social Security and environmental protection. His statements come amid ongoing debates about government spending and climate change preparedness.

On March 4, 2025, Rep. Levin addressed Elon Musk directly with a firm message: "Hands off Social Security, Elon Musk!" This statement reflects his stance on protecting the benefits that millions rely upon.

Continuing his critique of Musk's influence on governmental policies, Levin tweeted on March 5, 2025: "Elon Musk’s reckless cuts to NOAA will leave us more vulnerable to wildfires, floods, and droughts. Not efficiency — just Destruction of Government by Elon (DOGE). I’ll do everything I can to fight back." This comment underscores his commitment to opposing budget reductions that could impact national disaster readiness.

Later the same day, he addressed misinformation surrounding Social Security in another tweet: "Lie: 'Millions of dead people are getting Social Security checks.' Fact:" Here he aims to clarify misconceptions and defend the integrity of the Social Security system.
