Democrat Congressman LOSES IT Over X & Elon Musk: “Can You Imagine What the Next 2 Years are Gonna Be Like?”

Go to Article

On Wednesday, a series of posts made by Elon Musk played a pivotal role in in getting a BS-loaded, 1000+ page spending bill struck down.

And, as you can imagine, Democrats aren’t too happy.

Democrat Rep. Richard Neal voiced those concerns on the House floor today, completely losing it as he questioned,

“And a TWEET changed all of it? If every time the Congress works its will and then there’s a tweet from an individual who has no official portfolio, who threatens members on the Republican side with a primary and they succumb?”

There are so many issues with what this Congressman just said…

Watch here and then we’ll get into it:

Before we get into everything that’s just utterly wrong with what this guy just said, Elon had the perfect response to his unhinged, frankly un-American meltdown.

Here it is:

 

“Every time Congress works it’s will…”

Excuse me, Congressman, but let’s get one thing straight: it’s the will of the people you are there to represent.

 

The only thing Elon Musk is doing is vowing to use all of the resources in his power to help primary and oust Congressman like you, who act in the interest of Congress and not the American people.

If Congress members go against the role they were elected to do — that is, to represent the people who elected them — then the American people should primary them and get them replaced with someone who is truly a representative for and of the people. Simple as.

Rep. Neal isn’t the only Congress member with ruffled feathers…

The Washington Examiner reported on some other members of Congress and their reactions to Elon Musk helping kill the spending bill:

In the aftermath, some GOP lawmakers remain peeved that Musk’s online antics created unnecessary political headaches.

“I love it when people come in at the eleventh hour. Where were they last week amid all the discussions?” said one House Republican, who requested anonymity to speak candidly. “They should have called the speaker and worked with him. Tweeting against the speaker when we are on the same side is weak.”

“When you treat your own side like s***, then don’t count on loyalty back,” the lawmaker added.

As the co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has been tasked with eliminating excessive government spending, with a stated goal of cutting $2 trillion, a high price that would cause untold backlash if implemented.

At least one lawmaker referenced the near impossibility of cutting that amount of money without essentially abandoning people who need assistance.

“Elon would like to, you know, cut a bunch of the spending out of the CR, but it’s just a CR, and the additional spending are things like continuation of a farm program that’s in year seven of a five-year authorization,” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) told the Washington Examiner. “And, you know, $100 billion which probably isn’t adequate for Helene victims and Milton victims. I mean, those aren’t fake problems — the Carolinas and Florida and Southeast, those are real people with really severe problems that only the collective generosity of the American taxpayer can really solve.”

Cramer also alluded to the fact that Musk is not an elected member of Congress who votes on legislation. “We’re the elected people that have to make the decision whether we’re going to help the victims of major disasters in this country,” he said.

Across the aisle, congressional Democrats branded the tech billionaire a “shadow president” after his more than 100 tweets on Wednesday against the spending bill succeeded in tanking it.

“Democrats and Republicans spent months negotiating a bipartisan agreement to fund our government. The richest man on Earth, President Elon Musk, doesn’t like it. Will Republicans kiss the ring? Billionaires must not be allowed to run our government,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who caucuses with Democrats, in a post on X.

“It’s clear who’s in charge, and it’s not President-elect Donald Trump. Shadow President Elon Musk spent all day railing against Republicans’ CR, succeeded in killing the bill, and then Trump decided to follow his lead,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), outgoing chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, wrote in a post to X.

In a statement, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, slammed Musk’s interference as “a massive conflict of interest” before further taunting his elevated status in Trump’s orbit.

“At the behest of President-Elect Elon Musk, Republicans have once again brought the U.S. to the brink of a dangerous shutdown that will leave everyday Americans out in the cold,” Nadler said.

But, there’s a reason Elon Musk’s X posts have influence: because he’s voicing what so many other Americans have been thinking for years.

Democrats and RINOs just don’t like that his influence isn’t on their side.

And furthermore, they don’t like that Twitter isn’t ‘their’ platform for influence and meddling anymore.

They don’t have a problem with X being influential. They have a problem with its influence not aligning with theirs…

They have a problem with Americans voicing their freedom and wanting to hold the government accountable!

 

And yes, Congressman, I can imagine what these next 2 years are going to be like.

I imagine they will be incredible!
