Co-President Elon Musk Backs Trump Into Corner on CR
WASHINGTON, D.C. — After Elon Musk tweeted his opposition to Congressional Republicans’ proposed CR, President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance weighed in, criticizing the bill as well.
Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen, commented on the situation:
“An unelected billionaire should not be allowed to shut down the government. Musk’s temper tantrum this afternoon — and the speed at which Trump fell in line after being cornered — is a terrifying preview of what a Trump-Musk co-presidency will look like.
“As Musk and Trump recklessly push for a government shutdown with real human implications, Americans will be waiting to find out if the services they depend on will continue uninterrupted and whether critically-needed disaster relief is on its way.”
