No, not Musk. I’m on Musk Overload. It can’t turn out good.

Elon is in the right job already.

Gaetz, or Anna Paulina Luna.

Seems to me he already has enough to do...even for Elon.

How about Newt?
I know he sat on the bench w Pelosi, but he did give us Contract w America, and delivered a stable House once.

Musk has more important things to do - quite honestly, I'm already worried that his time in Mar-a-Lago is going to take away from the important work being done at SpaceX, Neuralink and Tesla, even though Tesla has gone through the roof in the last month and a half.

Musk has already given us the tool we need (X/Twitter) to fight back against garbage RINO shenanigans like Mike Johnson's omnibus pork package. Hope he gets back to moving human technology forward - there are any number of principled people - starting with Rand Paul - who I'd trust as House Speaker.

Johnson is now reduced to a figurehead, since, if he goes anti-MAGA, Musk, Trump and others will swoop-down and force him in the right direction.

So, given the super-slim GOP majority in the next Congress, my opinions is to leave him there, as otherwise there’s a good chance of not even having a Speaker, or even having a Democrat as a Speaker, as nearly happened last time.

Vivek adds more value in DOGE right now, IMHO.

Matt Gaetz or Byron Donalds if we are serious.

I’d go with Gaetz. He’s been vocal on the evils of these CR’s, the brinkmanship and the blame game, the skyrocketing debt, and the paramount need for a BUDGET.
Enough of this money printing and the pork! Get your financial house in order, Congress.
We’re soon to be at $40 Trillion in debt. Unbelievable when you try to comprehend it.

Gaetz is threatening to expose all the people who used tax payer funds to settle “Me Too” claims

He will not be Speaker. 100% certain of that.

Third in line. 😣
Bet you’d feel differently if Dems made Soros speaker.

Me. I’d change up my current Gig to take on the Speaker’s role.

After hanging out here arguing politics the last 25 years, I sure as sh*t couldn’t do any worse than anything we’ve seen in that same time span.

That... and you might just get to see me throw a chair at some lib-tard that actually deserves it...

I would love to see Laz as speaker. That would be a hoot.
