'This could be the way': Marjorie Taylor Greene backs bid to make Elon Musk speaker

Raw Story  

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene came out in support of calls to make billionaire Elon Musk speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after he led the charge to upend a bill that would have prevented a government shutdown. "Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk," Paul wrote. The Air Force recently refused to give Musk a high-level security clearance after he failed to comply with rules requiring him to report meetings with foreign leaders, The New York Times reported. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen "asked the Air Force and the Defense Department's Office of Inspector General to investigate whether Mr. Musk was having inappropriate communications with foreign leaders, including President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia," the New York Times report said.
