Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D., who represents Iowa's 1st district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of tweets on February 5, 2025, addressing various topics including misinformation about Elon Musk's citizenship status, energy tax credits benefiting Iowa, and her commitment to protecting women's sports.

On February 5, 2025, Rep. Miller-Meeks addressed misinformation during a TeleTownHall session where a caller claimed that Elon Musk was not a U.S. citizen and an illegal immigrant. She clarified in her tweet: "Last night during our TeleTownHall, a caller asserted that @elonmusk was not a U.S. citizen and an illegal immigrant. Elon is a U.S. citizen and I can assure you he didn’t come through the southern border."

Later that day at 17:33 UTC, she discussed meeting with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) regarding energy tax credits' impact on Iowa's economy. In her tweet she stated: "Met with @SEIA to discuss how the energy tax credits are benefiting Iowa by boosting domestic manufacturing, reducing reliance on Chinese imports, and driving onshoring in our supply chain."

At 18:04 UTC on the same day, Rep. Miller-Meeks expressed her dedication to supporting girls and women in sports as President Biden prepared to sign executive orders aimed at safeguarding women's sports from political agendas she disagrees with. Her tweet read: "Today, and every day, I stand committed to protecting girls and women in sports...I’m excited to join @POTUS at the White House later today as he signs executive orders to safeguard women’s sports from the radical left’s agenda."
