Later that evening, he made direct accusations against DTE Energy. On July 16, 2025, Maddock wrote: "DTE is tied up with the communist party and launders money to anyone that will protect them politically. They throw beans at the Republicans to fake them out. https://t.co/2ONTqIW7VQ".
Shortly after, Maddock alleged improper financial practices within Michigan's education budget. On July 16, 2025, he stated: "Bottom line is @MichiganDems get kickbacks from all the DOGE and pork within the education budget. We cut it. They can’t survive without it. https://t.co/m9rqLpcaSV".
