I don’t remember voting for Elon Musk.
Now he’s dictating a rejection of a bipartisan agreement to vote for a continuing resolution on the budget, telling legislators if they don’t follow his orders, they will be primaried.
He is using his billions to change the course of our country through bullying and greed. What is his goal?
To make America a happier, more prosperous country for all Americans? No.
It’s to get even richer while stripping hard-working Americans of services they need and have […]

Congress Was Set to Get a Modest Raise. Then Elon Musk Stepped in. – Business Insider
One of the most controversial pieces of the short-term government funding bill that Elon Musk helped tank last week was a provision that would have allowed members of Congress to receive a modest salary increase.
As Musk argued against the so-called “continuing resolution” in a stream of posts on X, he said that lawmakers were set to receive a 40% salary increase if the bill passed.
In reality, it would have at most been a $6,600 pay bump for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate, or […]
