Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 11th district since 2019, has recently voiced her concerns on social media regarding potential conflicts of interest involving Elon Musk and national security issues related to sensitive military plans. Her comments were shared through a series of tweets.
On March 21, 2025, Rep. Sherrill expressed her apprehension about Elon Musk's significant role as both the world's richest man and a major federal contractor. She stated, "Elon Musk is not only the world’s richest man but also one of the federal government’s largest contractors — handing the keys of our government over to him reeks of corruption and vast conflicts of interest." She further called upon independent watchdogs to address these concerns.
Later that day, another tweet from Rep. Sherrill included only a link: "https://t.co/da7y7E17SU", which suggests additional information or context related to her earlier statement.
In a subsequent post on March 21, 2025, Rep. Sherrill addressed issues concerning operational plans (OPLANs) and their sensitivity. She criticized former President Trump and Pete Hegseth for allegedly considering sharing sensitive war plans with China with a billionaire donor who has extensive Chinese business interests. She remarked, "OPLANs are so sensitive that even the highest ranking members of congress are rarely briefed." This situation was described by her as an "egregious" consideration.
