Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders criticized “President Elon Musk” for opposing a bipartisan government funding deal that would prevent a shutdown and extend operations until March 2024.

Musk, a vocal Trump ally and proposed co-leader of a new “department of government efficiency,” called the bill “criminal” and misleadingly claimed it includes a 40% Congressional pay raise and funding for “bioweapon labs.”

Musk’s opposition, amplified through over 100 posts on X, has drawn Republican support and Democratic backlash.

Sanders condemned Musk’s influence, labeling it “oligarchy at work.”

    I wonder if we can get Trump to start pushing billionaires out of windows just by toying with his ego.

    I like this tactic.
