Rep. Mark Pocan, currently representing Wisconsin's 2nd District in the U.S. Congress, addressed several pressing issues in a series of tweets. As a longstanding member of Congress since 2013, Pocan, who succeeded Tammy Baldwin, has been active in political discourse, as reflected in his recent posts.

On April 3, 2025, he raised a question potentially critical of ongoing political or economic developments by asking, "Are you getting tired of all the winning?"

Continuing his commentary on the same day, Pocan criticized Elon Musk's business operations. Highlighting Musk's government ties, Pocan tweeted at 15:26:46 UTC, "Elon Musk’s companies have billions in government contracts while he operates as a 'special government employee.' My ELON MUSK Act will end this corruption."

Later that day, Pocan addressed the economic impact of policies under former President Donald Trump. At 16:17:38 UTC, he tweeted, "Trump‘s tariffs are taxes you and I will pay to cover the cost of the $4.5 trillion tax cut for his billionaire buddies like Elon Musk."
