Democrats rage at "unelected co-president" Elon Musk
AXIOS ^ | 12/19/24 | Andrew Solender

Posted on 12/19/2024 9:02:00 AM PST by DallasBiff

Democratic members of Congress are incensed at the outsized power billionaire-turned-Trump lieutenant Elon Musk appears to be exercising over the policymaking process.

Why it matters: Musk's fervent public opposition helped scuttle a federal funding deal Democrats were prepared to support en masse – putting the government on the brink of a holiday shutdown.

Huh, Hillary was not elected, she was an advisor to the elected president, as is Elon, big difference though Elon is 1000 times more competent than Hillary.

Democcrats are such hypocrites.

All of Biden’s handlers that have covered up his dementia and have also actually been running the country are the real “co-presidents.”

No one cares. Presidents going back to at least FDR have had “special advisors”. The DC clown show never batted an eye before about it. They have no leg to stand on here.

Aww, shaddap. You lost. Trump can rope in any friend, colleague, sidekick or advisor he wants.

Just like every other president.

No one gets between Democrats and their unbridled spending without earning their unbridled rage as well.

Musk, sadly, has to fill the role of public advocate because our institutions in DC are so corrupted.

Musk literally saved free speech from the fascist speech controls being pushed by the DHS, State Dept, and the Democrat Party

Musk is speaking out against a bloated and incompetent Congress that passes corrupt, bloated spending bills in the middle of the night with no oversight.

Its certainly not what the Founders wanted, but its the best we got for now.

He is neither a co-president or even the Vice President. So, quit your lying Demon-rats.

Elon has the right to offer his opinion as does any taxpayer.

I was stupid enough to watch this on CSpan before my shift began. For years and years and years all we ever heard from the Dems was GIVE US A CLEAR CR! Well, we want to give them a clean CR for a couple of months and then start to implement our platform in the new Congress with our guy in the WH, and all they could talk about was how HORRIBLE it was going to be if they didn’t pass the 1500 page monstrosity.

The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.

There will be NO COMPLETE SHUTDOWN. There never is. Essential federal government work ALWAYS continues. This is just a ridiculous drama play by Leftist drama queens having hissy fits.

Let them lay face down on the floor and pound their fists, scream and hold their breath until they turn blue.
