'Sees Congress as employees': Musk warned his bullying likely cost him future success

Raw Story  

Trump's "billionaire sidekick" Elon Musk doesn't have any grasp of how Congress works — and by threatening and attacking any member who criticizes him, he's wrecking any chance he has of actually building a productive working relationship with the lawmakers he needs, Jill Lawrence wrote for The Bulwark on Tuesday. 'The Shanghai plant is Tesla’s largest car manufacturing facility — the Chinese gigafactory produced about 50 percent of Tesla’s global automobile output over the last year,' Connecticut Rep. RosaDeLauro, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, wrote in a letter to congressional leaders," Lawrence reported. "She suggested Musk’s China ties and investments could have been the rationale for his frenzied campaign to turn Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and other GOP leaders against 'a bipartisan, bicameral negotiated funding deal that included this provision.'" Even worse, "In their first post-election, pre-inauguration outing, Trump and Musk not only blew up the carefully negotiated bipartisan funding agreement, they undermined the working relationship between Johnson and Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries," she wrote.
