Elon Musk leads charge to kill spending bill meant to avert government shutdown​

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is already flexing his newfound political muscle even before his ally President-elect Donald Trump has taken the oath of office.

Musk helped lead a revolt Wednesday to try to stop a bipartisan funding bill in a direct challenge to the authority of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and others in Republican leadership who helped craft the measure. And in a remarkable turn, the revolt appeared to succeed at least for a day, throwing budget negotiations into chaos and increasing the odds of a government shutdown this weekend.

Musk posted to X about the funding bill more than 100 times over the course of the day. He repeatedly called the bill “criminal” and asked his followers to call their representatives, but he also posted memes, including one of him taking a sword to the bill and another referring to the “Kill Bill” films from director Quentin Tarantino. Later in the day, the phrase “Kill Bill” was on X’s list of trending topics in the United States.

Musk announced his opposition to the bill at 4:15 a.m. ET Wednesday.

“This bill should not pass,” he said on X.

The statement put Musk out on a limb as one of the first political figures to come out against the bill, but 13 hours later Trump himself spoke out in agreement.

'Elon Musk has killed the bill': Tech billionaire flexes newfound political muscle

As I recall, Repub members of the board are fond of railing against "unelected officials," or who they refer to by the fictional term "deep state," controlling the government in nefarious ways. Yet here we have the unelected co-president, Elon Musk, a man who paid $250M to be in the position he's in, killing a bipartisan budget bill as a Christmas shutdown draws near. That's a lot of power.

The orange enemy of the state tried to play catchup but the timing of their respective public remarks, made thru competing social media platforms, made it obvious who decided the bill needed to be killed.

What will Elon decide next?

never seen you do so many posts about trump bergy...you like your buddy im2 have been "trumpisized"....

The spending bill should be stopped.

Why does it include a fucking football stadium for DC and a raise for Congress…for example.

The bill is shit and needs to be flushed.

Also protection for J6 committee members like liz and schiff

A Judge said it....under today's laws the Carroll sexual assault would be considered rape...and that's where it came from...

ABC was wrong to repeat it, and they had to pay up. That's how it should work, when they are wrong.

I kinda wish ABC had pressed the matter. They could have pointed out what trump did to Carroll is defined as rape by federal statute.

At least if he's taking the country in the directon Americans want it to go, and pretending that it is his idea, he is actually taking the country in the direction Americans want it to go.

Contrast that with four years of whatever committee runs Joe Biden taking the country in directions few Americans want it to go.

Yea, WTF is that about.

No one is allowed to investigate the J6 committee? Huh?

 

[Dr.Destructo]

Either by design, or by being a bit slow on the uptake, you've missed the point.

Here's a hint. Remember how The Following used to ask who was actually the prez after Joe's disastrous debate performance?

You're the one missing the point.
Musk has no power. He has no position in the government.
Maybe after Jan. 20th he will, but as of yet, he's just panhandling bullshit.

Why anybody is listening to him right now is beyond me.

Both men being flaming egotists could cause a cat fight.

Uh oh. You aren't just slow on the uptake, you're a dullard.

So what? Elon Musk has as much right to express his opinions publicly as anybody Else, what's your alternative? censor him?

Uh oh. You aren't just slow on the uptake, you're a dullard.

If you clean out your computer of the kiddie porn and learn how to read instead of dressing in drag to steal children...........you might learn something other than the Democrat way throwing toddler tantrums when someone else has a different view or opinion.

 

[berg80]

when are you going to start?

Dude, don't be mad.

 

[22lcidw]

Your majority had 10 months to fix it and come up with a bill months ago....

Golly gee.

I see that one a lot. You understand the difference between conflicting opinions and the way you folks use alternative facts, right? Maybe not......since you're a dullard.

Talk about DULLARD!!!!

mad?....im just waiting for you to actually humiliate them....so far i dont see it....

Wow. That was particularly lame. Did you notice the US government reacted to his expressed opinion?

Let me put it in a way you can appreciate. What if an unelected person who contributed $250M to the Dem presidential candidate decided he wanted to kill a compromise bill on the budget..............and he did..........by sending out some threatening tweets? Does that help?

You're out of your depth.
