Massie, who holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and resides in Garrison, Kentucky, has been vocal about infrastructure issues and political events.
On March 4, 2025, Massie expressed concerns about the state of air traffic control systems in the United States. He questioned the modernity of these systems by comparing them to an outdated arcade game: "How can an air traffic display that looks like the 1979 arcade game Asteroids possibly be state of the art? The system used to monitor air traffic near airports is over 25 years old! Today, @transportgop held a hearing examining our outdated air traffic control infrastructure."
In another tweet dated March 5, 2025, Massie thanked former President Donald Trump for his role in freeing Ross Ulbricht. He mentioned that Ulbricht was his guest at the State of the Union address and highlighted their interaction during dinner: "Thank you President Trump for freeing Ross Ulbricht. He’s my guest at the State of the Union. I was honored to give him a debt badge at dinner tonight! #SOTU #freeross"
