"This bill is a crime": Musk throws social media fit over stopgap government funding effort

Salon  

Soon-to-be Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk can add another imaginary title to his resume: social media majority whip. Musk was tagged to join President-elect Donald Trump's administration alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, and the pair were given the ill-defined mandate to slash government spending. He posted more than 40 times to his social media app X on Wednesday, calling the omnibus bill a "scam" and "an outrage." Musk's impromptu whipping of votes in opposition to the spending bill reportedly has House Speaker Mike Johnson considering a narrower resolution that would carve out much of the stopgap bill's appropriations.
