'Blindsided' and 'furious' Trump turned Elon Musk loose on House leadership: insider

^{Published on 2024-12-24 07:00:58 - MSN}

According to a deep dive into how House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) managed to get most of his caucus and Donald Trump to agree on a budget package that kept the government working until March, the Washington Post is reporting that Johnson "blindsided" the president-elect by also negotiating with Democrats.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump, feeling blindsided and furious, enlisted Elon Musk to influence House GOP leadership. This action was in response to Trump's dissatisfaction with how the House was handling investigations into President Joe Biden. Trump, upset over what he perceived as insufficient aggression from House Republicans, reportedly had Musk, who has significant sway in conservative circles, reach out to key figures in the House to push for more aggressive probes into Biden's activities. This move underscores Trump's ongoing influence within the Republican Party and his willingness to leverage high-profile allies to advance his political agenda.
