With a 4:15 a.m. ET social-media post on Wednesday, Elon Musk declared that a must-do spending bill “should not pass.” By early evening, the bill was dead, leaving the government barreling toward a weekend shutdown just before Christmas. Lawmakers who might have underestimated Musk’s ability to shake up Washington were suddenly having second thoughts.
Over the course of Wednesday, Musk pressed for Congress to kill the bill. He encouraged his more than 200 million followers on X, the social-media platform that he owns, to call their representatives to vote against it, and he warned that Republicans who voted for it should lose their congressional seats in two years. He also said Congress shouldn’t pass any more legislation until President-elect Donald Trump takes office, which would ensure a partial government shutdown until Jan. 20.
“Stop the steal of your tax dollars!” he posted on X. “Call your elected representatives now. They are trying to railroad this thing through today!”

Musk should let democrats know they can be primaried also
MAGA is messing with their money... which is what The Swamp is really about. Bankruptcies will be in order. Many of their business plans depend on sucking us and our progeny completely dry.
If they choose bloodshed we can kill them back - and much worse. Our side currently has all the weapons and trained killers.
F them straight to hell.
Trump didn’t want to be President. He waited more than 20 years for someone — anyone — to rise up against anti-American forces. No one did. So it’s not surprising someone outside America has risen up to help.
Well, in the democrats case they would be outspent in the general by Musk’s targeted money. It doesn’t take much money to swing the more local races. Soros proved that.
We used to celebrate Entrepreneurs, Captains Of Industry. People who know how to “get er done!” Carnegie, Mellon, Rockefeller. Elon Musk would not have any ‘power’ if millions and millions of regular Americans did not 1) pay attention 2) AGREE, and 3) retweet.
Reminds me of Air America, the leftist’s attempt to counter El Rush-Bo. Air America began with 4 radio stations. Air America collapsed with 4 stations.
They should concentrate their efforts over DC!
