Congressman Jared Golden, representing Maine’s 2nd district, has been active on social media recently, expressing his views on various topics. His tweets cover issues ranging from public interest in Elon Musk to regulatory decisions affecting local industries.

On February 4, 2025, Golden tweeted about the unexpected shift in public focus from former President Donald Trump to Elon Musk. He remarked: "I’ve been getting a lot of calls over the past few days, and the interesting thing is none of them are about Donald Trump. They’re all about Elon Musk. My constituents, and a majority of this country, put Trump in the White House, not this unelected, weirdo billionaire."

The following day, February 5, he posted a tweet linking to additional information: "Read more: https://t.co/l16xLX0ZRJ" The link presumably leads to further details or commentary related to his earlier statement or other topics of interest.

In another tweet on February 5, Golden addressed regulatory changes impacting Maine's lobstermen. He stated: "Any day regulators listen to lobstermen is a good day for Maine. Yesterday's decision by ASMFC to repeal its proposed gauge increase is a direct result of Maine harvesters’ pushing back against this drastic and unnecessary rule change. I’m proud to have stood at their side." This reflects his support for local industry stakeholders in resisting what he considered an unwarranted regulatory adjustment.
