Elon Musk warned RINO traitors that they were making this career-killing mistake
Elon Musk continues to shake things up.
The D.C. establishment tried to test him.
And Elon Musk warned RINO traitors that they were making this career-killing mistake.
Donald Trump named Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy the co-chairs of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Musk stated during the campaign that he could identify $2 trillion dollars in wasteful federal spending to slash.
Republicans couldn’t wait to sign up for the DOGE caucus to give the impression they understood the mandate vote that handed Donald Trump the presidency in November.

But at the first opportunity, establishment Republicans showed it was all just business as usual in the Swamp.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) rolled out a more than 1500-page spending bill loaded up with every single Democrat policy priority under the sun.
Elon Musk was furious.
“The more I learn, the more obvious it becomes that this spending bill is a crime. It even includes funding for the worst illegal censorship operation in the entire government (GEC)!!” Musk posted on social media.
Johnson hoped that rolling the bill out in the hours before the Christmas recess would jam Republicans into supporting a spending bill that locked in funding for Joe Biden’s agenda well into Donald Trump’s first year in office.
Musk called on Congress to pass a clean funding bill with no add-ons so Donald Trump could govern.
“Absolutely, this bill should NOT pass. A new bill that isn’t an insane crime against the American people should be done in 33 days,” Musk added.
But Musk wanted the RINOs in the House and Senate planning to betray Donald Trump to know he wasn’t just all talk.
Musk – the world’s richest man and one who spent more than $200 million to elect Donald Trump – warned establishment Republicans that anyone who supported the bill bought themselves an Elon Musk-funded primary challenger in 2026.
“Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!” Musk added.
According to Fox News Congressional correspondent Chad Pergram, the message was received.
“A post on X by Elon Musk sent shockwaves through the Capitol. House Republicans were trying to see if they have enough votes to pass the spending bill in the next hour or two,” Pergram stated.
Pergram reported that Musk’s threat of primary challengers induced panic among Johnson and his leadership team, who realized they had to pull this bill and start over.
“We’re told right now, in the past 30 or 40 minutes here, that they might try to pull this interim spending bill off the floor and maybe just go with a clean bill,” Pergram reported.
