Attorney Joe Gallina shared a clip on X, formerly known as Twitter, of his brief interview with Crockett.
"I just asked Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett if she had a message to Elon Musk," he wrote. "What would she say to him?"
Crockett quickly told Gallina "f— off" when discussing what she would tell the tech billionaire.
Fans applauded Crockett's blunt response.
"We need more Jasmine Crockett and less Marjorie Taylor Greene," one user wrote.
"Fair point from Jasmine Crockett," another added.
Crockett previously discussed Musk's influence on American politics, as he currently runs the Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE.
"People said that they were upset about TikTok, but I'm upset about the guy that runs Twitter," Crockett said during a subcommittee meeting on Wednesday, February 12.
Crockett didn't agree with Trump giving Musk such a high-power position and clearance.
"I don't understand if you are trying to conduct audits and figure out where all the waste, fraud, and abuse is, I don't know why you would go to some tech guy," she continued. "To the elected, it is time for us to do our jobs and rein in this rogue actor named Elon Musk."
In a joint interview with Fox News, Musk explained his relationship with Trump.
"I mean, the president has been so — so unfairly attacked in the media," the South African businessman told Sean Hannity.
"It's truly outrageous," he continued. "And I've at this point, spent a lot of time with the president, and not once have I seen him do something that was mean or cruel or — or wrong. Not once."
Musk later clarified his controversial position within Trump's plan to "Make America Great Again."
"I mean, you know, I think the way you think of me is, like, I'm a technologist and I try to make technologies that improve the world and make life better," he admitted.
"Yeah, and that's why, like, my T-shirt says 'tech support' because I'm here to provide the president with — with technology support," he claimed.
