Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on X: "Elon Musk ordered his puppet President-elect and House Republicans to break the bipartisan agreement reached to keep the government open. House Republicans are abdicating their responsibility to the American people and siding with billionaires and special interests."

More and more Republicans seem to be openly embracing Elon Musk with some even referring to him as ‘our prime minister.’ This, even as President-elect Donald Trump is rejecting the notion that the world’s richest man is in charge.
