Trump's Second Term

[a_unique_person]

Does anyone know if Elon has gone into meltdown on X? Does the debt ceiling mean Trump can't get his tax cuts?

One rumor on Reddit is that Lord Muck was against this particular CR because it contained some provision about doing business in China that would have cost him. Richest man on earth can't turn down more money.

He thinks it's a victory because the bill weighed less.

The second bill was the same size that wasn't passed.

Trump won't read any of them unless they are one cartoon.

ETA: How did Musk get a photo of these documents? Aren't they supposed to be limited to authorised people seeing them?

House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries has spoken to media about the spending bill that his fellow Democrats voted in favour of.

He says they "successfully stopped the billionaire boys club, which wanted a $4 trillion blank cheque by suspending the debt ceiling".

Jeffries called the vote a victory for the American people, but said there's still work ahead and they "look forward to that fight in the New Year".

Another GOP Senator comes out for Elon as Speaker

GOP Sen. Mike Lee

Speaker Mike Johnson is a friend but he lost control of the House. He can't remain in power. Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy should be Speaker

Obviously. That's how you become the richest.

The photo came from a Florida reporter. Elonia just "liked" it on X. So how did a reporter get a copy of the bill that was just passed?

So Elon got what he wanted, but Trump didn't get what he wanted.

Elon for speaker won't fly. Trump would be having to beg Elon to do what he wants.

Elon would actually have to turn up at the office and do some actual work for a change.

Not necessarily. Just because that's what the speaker has always done, doesn't mean that it's what they will do in the future.

Maybe when Musk is speaker, he will delegate the nitty gritty to deputies and use the position to further his personal agenda through those deputies.

Or he'll install Diablo 4 on the speaker's PC and give the same attention to the house that he does to SpaceX briefings.
