  • "My phone was ringing off the hook," Republican Rep. Andy Barr said. "The people who elected us are listening to Elon Musk."
The article from CBS News discusses the potential government shutdown as the deadline for Congress to pass a funding bill approaches. Amidst this, former President Donald Trump has been actively engaging with key political figures, including Elon Musk, to influence the situation. Trump has been pushing for a hardline stance against a bipartisan funding bill, urging Republican lawmakers to hold out for more conservative demands.
