GOP mulls killing stopgap funding bill after Musk sends 'shockwaves' through Capitol

Raw Story  

Lawmakers are considering killing a stopgap bill that would fund the federal government through mid-March — and avert a holiday shutdown — after an Elon Musk X post sent "shockwaves" through Capitol Hill. Chad Pergram, senior congressional correspondent for Fox News, reported on air that lawmakers may try to "pull this interim spending bill off the floor." "Here's what happened — a post on X by Elon Musk sent shockwaves through the Capitol," said Pergrum. The threat didn't go over well with at least one leading GOP lawmaker, who told Fox News Musk is "not helping," said Pergram.
