Source: USA Today

WASHINGTON ― Elon Musk escalated his criticism of President Donald Trump's tax and budget mega-bill as the Senate took up the legislation, warning that he would boost primary challenges to defeat Republican lawmakers who vote for the legislation.

Musk, the richest man in the world and former top White House adviser, unleashed a flurry of posts on June 30 on X attacking the bill, the centerpiece of Trump's domestic agenda, over the tech entrepreneur's well-documented concerns the bill will increase the national debt.

Will he be.deprted to Canada, South Africa or El Salvador.

Even if he did not abide by the terms of his student visa, I am sure Trumpers can find someone to testify about some crime he has committed.

Musk wants us to be grotesque or else.

If you need Medicaid to survive they don’t care what you want.

Conservative values in action.

Musk must have some good blackmail material on rump. No tearing into him, no threats of lawsuits or deportation.
Do what you can, but fuck you felon. You got him in.

Let's see him primary Ted Cruz & Tommy Tuberville.

I'd say McConnell too, but that hateful old bastard is retiring, & not a minute too soon.

...maybe some of the otherwise more moderate members who are thought to be unhappy with it may be willing to actually vote for what they actually think is right.

The republican base is 100% MAGA which will vote/believe/do whatever trump tells them to, even if it completely changes minute to minute. Even if musk dropped $10 billion in a primary, the trump-endorsed candidate will always win.
