Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that Republicans were “taking orders from the world’s richest man,” Elon Musk, regarding a failed continuing resolution (CR). In a post on X, Clinton accused Republicans of being “on course to shut down the government over the holidays.” “If you’re just catching up: the Republican Party, taking orders from the world’s richest man, is on course to shut down the government over the holidays, stopping paychecks for our troops and nutrition benefits for low-income families just in time for Christmas,” Clinton wrote in her post.

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...

Elon Musk, self-described "First Buddy" of President-elect Donald Trump, went all out to thwart a last-minute funding deal to avert a government shutdown. The move was a direct challenge to Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who rolled out the sweeping plan on Tuesday night. Now, it appears Musk has successfully killed the stopgap measure in its cradle - before it was even brought to a vote. In a manic posting spree on Wednesday, the world's richest man bombarded his platform X, formerly Twitter, with attacks on a proposed funding bill, which would've kept the government funded through March 14 and...

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.

Elon Musk was born a South African, so he’s ineligible to serve as either president or vice president of the United States. But he is swiftly showing, by dint of his enormous wealth and growing influence with the person Americans actually elected as president, that neither of those titles are necessary to dominate Washington. Over the course of a few hours yesterday, Musk may have singlehandedly tanked a carefully negotiated bipartisan compromise to fund the government for the next three months and provide billions of dollars in aid for disaster relief and farmers. The deal was the work of House...

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) criticized President-elect Trump for allowing SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to “govern” through a series of social media posts that effectively helped to delay passage of a stopgap funding bill that would prevent a government shutdown ahead of the holidays. “It’s one thing when you have Donald Trump governing by tweet, as he did in his first term, where he was in communication with Congress, but now you have Elon Musk, an unelected oligarch, governing by tweet,” Goldman said Wednesday on CNN’s “AC360.”

Elon Musk's joining with Donald Trump is going to prove to be one of the greatest things ever to happen to this country. The enormity of this can be measured in democrat discomfort, whining and umbrage. Speaker Mike Johnson promised us that there would no last minute piled on continuing resolution as in the past and it would be clean. But here it is. 1547 pages, when it should have been around 50 pages. It was unceremoniously dumped in the laps of House members on Wednesday, and they were expected to read it all and vote by Friday. I asked...

Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) spoke out against Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in governmental affairs, saying the tech billionaire is “horning his way” into decisions. “I was with a few Republicans yesterday as Musk was rage-tweeting and giving his orders, and they were completely apoplectic,” Swalwell said on MSNBC on Thursday night. “And I told one of them, I said, ‘If you let him do this, if he does this and you don’t stand up to him now, he is going to own you for the next Congress.'” “‘Every bill that is...

The media have a new talking point to trash Trump—they have decided that they will say that the “elected to nothing” Elon Musk is president, and Trump is just his puppet. What a joke.Not once have I ever seen these same people question who has been the president the last four years while Biden’s mind has clearly been shot. They intentionally spread the lie that Biden was “sharp as a tack” and doing a great job.The WSJ put out a lengthy article yesterday reporting that unelected bureaucrats have been running the show for Biden before and during his presidency, because...

"She's a former first lady, a United States senator, and a potential 2008 presidential candidate. But to hear Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton tell it, all of that pales in comparison to her real childhood dreams," reported Newsday in an attempted puff piece on the junior Senator from New York. "My whole life has been a speed bump," she said to laughs." Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Failed at everything she ever tried, so she decided to go into politics. And this woman wants to be President? "'I wanted desperately to be an Olympic athlete,' Clinton said Monday at...
