Musk Threatens Republicans over Big Bad Bill

"Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth," [Elon Musk] wrote.

"In a flurry of X posts several weeks ago, Musk had proposed starting a new political party.

That proposal resurfaced on Monday, when Musk said:

"It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country " the PORKY PIG PARTY!! Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people."

He doesn't, but this is no idle threat. His money probably has more influence with Congress than Lewzer's mouth.

So it boils down to the threat of The Trump Dynasty (with Eric and Laura) vs Vengeful perhaps soon to be Illegal immigrant Billionaire from S.A. MR Musk.
What will the peoples representatives do- can they show fealty to both and survive?

I'm pretty sure they will have to pick one or the other. Too bad their constituents are not even in the running.

Elon realized he lost the people who were buying his cars and he's trying his best to do damage control.

Musk might be one percent less evil than Trump, but honestly, I couldn't give two schitts about him. However, I have no doubt he holds some interesting secrets about his former buddy. The problem is, the only people who would care are Democrats. Trump could murder 500 babies with a hacksaw and hump them all after they're dead, and then eat the remains on live TV, and the Trumpers would blame the media and talk about how the stress must have gotten to him and how he's done all of this without drawing a salary.

Is Mr Musk's threat little more than an empty sail of late?

Asked differently, how well did Mr Musk's money do for his candidate in the last Wisconsin election?

There's this ...

Headline fail. Should read:

"Oananist goes on public rampage; angered when no one looks in his direction"

There--fixed it...
