Hindustan Times  

President-elect Donald Trump’s team has pushed back against claims that Elon Musk is wielding outsized influence within the Republican Party after the tech billionaire played a major role in derailing a key spending bill intended to avert a government shutdown. Early Wednesday, Musk denounced the bill on his social media platform X, warning, “Stop the steal of your tax dollars!” Trump and Vance echo Musk, urge GOP to reject spending bill Shortly afterwards, Trump and JD Vance issued a statement mimicking Musk’s criticisms of the bills. Full stop.” Democrats seized the moment to highlight the perceived power struggle within the GOP Senator Bernie Sanders mocked Musk’s influence, writing on X: “Democrats and Republicans spent months negotiating a bipartisan agreement to fund our government. The richest man on Earth, President Elon Musk, doesn’t like it.” Former Obama adviser David Axelrod joined the fray, quipping: “So will President-elect Musk join the budget negotiations now?” Representative Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., added: “It’s clear who’s in charge, and it’s not President-elect Donald Trump.” Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost, D-Fla., remarked, “Shadow President Elon Musk spent all day railing against Republicans’ CR, succeeded in killing the bill, and then Trump decided to follow his lead.”
