Elon Musk is the one person who has been blamed for the loss of the continuing resolution fight by the Democrats and the anti-Trump crowd.
They just melt down and claim that an “unelected billionaire” controls things.
Anyone, even a billionaire, can have an opinion on this. And guess what, Rep. Balint! You are supposed to serve the people. All of us have a voice, not only “elected” officials. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of their position – they work for us and we do not work for them. They do not get to dictate.
Musk is a target of their anger because he’s a powerful speaker and has the ear to President-elect Trump. He’s speaking for us all. People flooded X and the members of Congress to tell them not to vote for the CR due to all the pork and bad things it contained. It’s the way it’s supposed to be; this is a good thing. If Democrats were interested in passing a bill for “disaster assistance” as they claim they are, they wouldn’t have to include all the pork — they could just put forward a bill that is clean and only contains the necessary provisions. The Democrats are the bad guys because they’re trying to manipulate people who are in trouble so that this monstrosity can be passed and raise their salaries. The people of North Carolina, however, are still in the cold, as the Biden team is not in action.
Musk has also paid probably more taxes than anyone else, so he has every right to speak out. As the newly-appointed co-head at DOGE, it is his duty to look into government waste and incompetence, and this was certainly a big idiocy. He should comment on it.
Democrats had no problem with George Soros, his son Alex, or other wealthy Democratic donors. It’s funny.
There’s something else happening here. You can see Adam Kinzinger, a former Illinois representative and well-known crier, doing it. They’re going to all try the tactic of calling Musk “President” while Trump is “VP-elect.”
It’s to try and create a rift because Trump isn’t able to handle Musk’s praise. If they can create a split and get Musk to leave, then it will reduce some of Trump’s influence.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of Trump, and it is next-level stupid. Kinzinger is the one who said that. The tactic is so obvious that it’s just stupid.
Trump has attracted people who have powerful constituencies such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Joe Rogan. He doesn’t seem to mind working with powerful people. They’ve all made things better. He’s at the core of everything.
Musk isn’t doing this for money or power. Musk is a true believer. It’s all about making a change. It’s his desire to change that worries Democrats and those who prefer the status quo.
If the Democrats understood, what should be troubling them is the new power being unleashed by the people.
People are now able to see what they can do and will not accept the same old nonsense.
