Elon Musk Is Trying to Buy a Second Branch of Government

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. trying-to-buy-a-second-branch-of-government.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Wednesday, December 18th 2024 at 18:01 GMT by MSN}

Elon Musk said Wednesday that every member of Congress who votes for the CR should be voted out in two years. That raises the question of how much power an unelected billionaire should have. Elon Musk

Elon Musk's recent activities suggest he is attempting to influence or "buy" a second branch of government, following his acquisition of Twitter (now known as X Corp), which some view as an attempt to control part of the public square. Musk has been actively engaging with political figures and has made significant donations to political campaigns, particularly those aligned with conservative viewpoints. His interactions include meetings with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other Republican leaders, as well as financial support for candidates like Rep. Jim Jordan and Sen. J.D. Vance. Critics argue that Musk's involvement in politics, especially his financial contributions and his platform's role in shaping public discourse, could be seen as an effort to sway legislative and regulatory environments in his favor. This move is perceived as an extension of his influence from the tech industry into the political arena, potentially aiming to affect policy-making directly.
