Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) made a doozy of a suggestion on Thursday for who the next speaker of the House should be. Current Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is dealing with challenges from fellow Republicans over his government funding plan that was panned by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, whom Trump picked to lead a nongovernmental advisory group called the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk has also called for a government shutdown, which is why Paul caused quite a buzz on social media when he suggested having the manchild mogul replace Johnson as House speaker. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the Kentucky senator noted that the House speaker is not required to be a member of Congress, and basically suggested electing Musk because "nothing would disrupt the swamp more." He also seemed excited about the "joy" of "seeing the collective establishment, aka uniparty,' lose their ever-lovin' minds."
