Matt Maddock, a Michigan state legislator, posted several comments on his X (formerly Twitter) account on February 20, 2026, addressing topics ranging from personal wealth to artificial intelligence and government employment.
In a post made at 15:47 UTC, Maddock commented on the reported wealth of an unnamed individual, stating “Blown away! I had no idea this kiddie kommie was worth 50+ million and makes half a million a month!”
Later that day at 17:01 UTC, he questioned the implications of technological advancement by asking “Given everything AI is doing, could this be a snapshot of the future?”
At 18:39 UTC, Maddock turned his attention to state government operations with the statement “Here’s one for ya. Michigan Dept. of Transportation employs TWO full-time archeologists. They are supposedly required by the feds which mandate lots of high-paying wasteful gov jobs for democrats.” Federal law requires states to comply with environmental and historical preservation regulations when using federal funds for transportation projects. This often includes employing professionals such as archaeologists to ensure compliance with statutes like the National Historic Preservation Act.
Maddock serves in the Michigan House of Representatives and is known for expressing critical views on government spending and regulation.
