Representative Adam Smith, currently serving Washington's 9th district in the U.S. Congress, has voiced his views on certain issues through a series of tweets. Known for his long tenure since replacing Randy Tate in 1997, Smith has communicated opinions on topics involving notable personalities and policies.

On March 31, 2025, Smith expressed his displeasure with Tesla stock, stating directly, "As for Tesla it is my hope the stock goes to zero. We will gladly lose every last penny of value on that for the greater good of Musk being weakened. I know my father in law would agree. He bought the stock when Tesla was an entirely different thing." His remarks suggest a strong disapproval of Elon Musk's role at the company and its current trajectory.

Later that same day, on March 31, 2025, Smith mentioned hearing from a former employee of the Forest Service, affected by employment cuts attributed to Elon Musk’s decisions. "I heard from a former Recreation Technician for the Forest Service who lost their job due to Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts. Here is their story. https://t.co/a7Xu2K1nXi" This highlights Smith's advocacy for individuals affected by corporate decisions.

In a separate tweet on March 31, 2025, Smith conveyed a straightforward message to his audience, wishing them well. "I hope you had a safe and peaceful celebration. https://t.co/yxZ8Z6gV8R" The brief statement reflects a moment of personal outreach amidst the more contentious topics discussed.
