Elon Musk issues chilling threat to any Republican who votes for 1,547-page spending bill
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Elon Musk, Donald Trump's pick to hack away at frivolous government spending, has publicly slammed Republican Speaker Mike Johnson's nearly 1,600-page funding plan.
The super-sized bill is a continuing resolution (CR) to extend government funding until March, basically kicking the issue down the road three months.
But it's being met with heavy headwinds from disgruntled Republicans and members of Trump's incoming Cabinet.
Billionaire Musk, who is heading up Trump's DOGE agency with Vivek Ramaswamy, is leading the charge to slap down the bill he calls a 'piece of pork.'
He went so far as to threaten any Republican who votes for the measure, saying they'll be fired from Congress next election.
'Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!'
Attached to the package is over $100 billion relief aid to help states reeling from disastrous hurricanes Milton and Helene.
It also provides farmers with assistance, approves cash for submarines, and helps with other disasters.
But Musk is taking issue with a provision to bump up members of Congress' pay from $174,000 - a level set in 2009 - to $243,300 per year and other measures.
'How can this be called a 'continuing resolution' if it includes a 40 percent pay increase for Congress?' he questioned.
Both of the DOGE boys took action:
…which had results:
There was more in this Continuing Resolution that the Daily Mail didn’t realize would be important to voters:, but Vivek was on it for all of us:

They tried, anyway. But Vivek Ramaswamy read the entire thing, and shared his thoughts, after which reassessment occurred. | Renewal of counter-drone authority, China crackdowns in last-minute government funding extension
