Summary
Musk is trying to backtrack on his previous demands to shut down the government.
Elon Musk initially supported a government shutdown, criticizing Republicans who backed a continuing resolution and calling for no new bills until Donald Trump retakes office.
His posts on X encouraged GOP hardliners and contributed to chaos in Congress.
After a bipartisan spending bill failed to pass, Musk blamed Democrats, ignoring that 38 Republicans also voted against it.
Facing backlash for his earlier remarks, Musk is now deflecting responsibility as House Speaker Mike Johnson struggles to avoid a shutdown.
Hundred per cent, Donny is using Elon and will throw him under the bus at the first chance. You know what looks worse than a normal loser? A billionaire loser
I think you’re giving him far too much credit. Elon is there because DT lacks object permanence. Once elon dissapears for 10 minutes, or DT sees some advantage to throwing him under the bus, he’ll be gone. He doesn’t have the mental capacity to use someone, he’s like 2yo playing in the living room with toys.
