  • Both Senator Rand Paul and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene have publicly come out to suggest that Elon Musk become the next Speaker of the House, while Congressman Thomas Massie has confirmed that he will not be voting for Speaker Johnson in January.
The article from MSN discusses a hypothetical scenario where Senators Rand Paul and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly endorse Elon Musk for the position of Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. This comes at a time when the House is experiencing turmoil due to the ousting of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, leading to a leadership vacuum. Both Paul and Greene, known for their controversial stances, suggest Musk as a potential outsider candidate who could bring a new perspective to Congress. They highlight Musk's business acumen and his ability to innovate, suggesting these qualities could help in managing the House's current dysfunction. However, the article notes that this endorsement is more symbolic, reflecting their frustration with the current political establishment rather than a serious expectation that Musk would or could take the role. The piece also touches on the broader implications of such an endorsement, including the reaction from other politicians and the public, and the constitutional and practical challenges of appointing someone not currently serving in Congress to this position.
