  • Billionaire Elon Musk joined calls by Trump to kill a bipartisan spending bill that would avoid a Christmastime government shutdown.

The article from The Boston Globe discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump and Elon Musk on a spending bill in Congress aimed at averting a government shutdown. Trump has been vocal about his opposition to the bill, urging Republican lawmakers to reject it due to its inclusion of what he considers excessive spending and policies he disagrees with. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has publicly criticized the bill on social media, focusing on its implications for free speech and government overreach. Their influence has created a significant challenge for congressional leaders trying to pass the legislation before the deadline, highlighting the deep political divisions and the sway that high-profile individuals can have over legislative processes. The article also touches on the broader implications of such interventions by influential figures outside of elected office, potentially setting a precedent for future political maneuvers.
