SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Sunday endorsed lawmaker Rick Scott for Senate majority leader, joining a growing list of MAGA figures who are throwing their support behind the Florida Republican.
"Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader!" Musk wrote in a post on X Sunday afternoon, days after Republicans won back control of the Senate on Election Day.
Musk’s post came in response to a post from Scott, who was responding to President-elect Trump’s demand that "Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner."
"100% agree," Scott responded. "I will do whatever it takes to get your nominations through as quickly as possible."

Musk’s call goes a long way....because you know he has tossed it around and around first.
Voted for Rick Scott on Elon Musk’s post on X.
Do the opposite of any recommendation coming from Mitch McConnell and his CCP handlers.
Of course, Cornyn and Thune are named defendants as well.
Concur on Scott. Or if it gets bogged down, then JD Vance.
Under no circumstances should it be anti-gun, anti-Trump, Cornyn.
I have no doubt Thune is just as bad as Cornyn; I just don’t know him.
I’ll bet the threat of putting JD in charge as the President of the Senate will force them to cut the crap and give Trump the leader he wants (Scott).
Musk has spoken!
Susan Wiles ran Rick Scott’s 2010 campaign for Florida Governor.
Gotta be Scott!!
no question
So do I. I do not want tester or cornhole. Both are mcConnel types.
but Rick’s not terrapin’s protege like Cornyn and Thune

Other Freepers who know more about these things than I do have said what McConnell is doing is nothing unusual by calling for a majority leader vote before the new Senate is seated. What I know is McConnell is a conniver of the first order. I have not paid attention to such past events, but this action by McConnell even if it was announced some time ago strikes me as odd. Especially, as it has turned out now with J.D. Vance a sitting senator and vice-president elect of the nation and future presiding officer of the Senate. Did McConnell brainstorm and then manipulate the timing of this vote by retiring now before the seemingly logical time to leave coincidentally with the swearing in and seating of a new Senate in January? Why the rush to do it in November other than to try and get his chosen pick in as majority leader.
Any bets on the RINOs in the Senate giving the middle finger to Trump, Musk, and Scott, and selecting someone else?
Trump found out the first time that many Republicans in the House and Senate are Deep Staters first and foremost. McConnell and Ryan sabotaged him from day one. He’s smart to avoid those whose loyalty to America is questionable.
Elon’s right. I don’t think Rick Scott is great but he is infinitely preferable to Thune or Cornyn.
YAAAAY!!
Musk did a poll on X, and Scott won by far.
Cornyn will not work with DJT. Cornyn is a RINO.
