Why does Ben Meiselas say MAGA Mike Johnson was “stabbed in the back” by Elon Musk?
And you, Brutus, yeah, MAGA Mike Johnson, you just got stabbed in the back by Elon Musk, who you thought was your friend, my friend Elon Musk. We partied together at the UFC fights. Uh-uh, Elon Musk doesn't like you. Elon Musk isn't returning your phone calls anymore. Elon Musk says that he's going to run primary challenges against any. Any MAGA Republican Congress member who votes for the disastrous budget bill. Elon Musk says that the budget bill, MAGA Mike, is a total abomination and that it needs to be killed immediately. Elon Musk keeps posting, kill the bill. But I thought MAGA Mike Johnson, you said that Elon Musk had the genius algorithms and the AI, and it figured out ways to make this Bill so big and beautiful.
What happened? He hates the bill, MAGA Mike Johnson. Yep. So MAGA Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, he thought he was close to the end zone. He thought he was going to deliver the touchdown for Donald Trump, a disastrous budget bill, which I refer to as the murder bill, which would literally kill tens of millions of Americans. Take 11 million Americans. Americans or so off of healthcare, give the billionaires trillions of dollars in tax cuts, steal food from the mouths of low-income people, get rid of supplemental nutrition assistance programs, buy-bye food stamps, make more people unhoused by removing rental assistance in Section 8 housing, taking away women's reproductive rights, you know, all the things that the MAGA republic.
Republicans love in their death cult and all of the suffering. But you see, for Elon Musk, the problem is because of the uh increase in the deficit, Elon Musk, I think, actually wants more cruelty in this budget bill. And you ain't giving it to Elon Musk, MAGA Mike Johnson. So Elon Musk came out strong against the budget bill. He's saying kill the bill. Elon Musk has been posting all of the comment sections from Fox with people saying that they feel betrayed by MAGA Mike Johnson and Donald Trump about how abysmal this budget bill is. And Mike Johnson says that Elon Musk is ghosting him. Elon Musk won't return his call. Watch MAGA Mike Johnson's disastrous press conference. Let's play this clip.
on Monday he made this one eighty. What do you think changed? Why do you think he's coming out against us now? And have you spoken to the President and Elon since the emission, please.
Well I tell you I called Elon last night and he didn't answer but uh uh I hope to talk to him today. I mean it's not you know we're it's very friendly and and we can and we've laughed about our our differences on policy before. Um I'm I'm not upset about this and I I I just um I think he understands and and he's acknowledged to me before uh That this is so serious that we can't fool around with it. I mean, the the debt cliff is approaching very quickly, right? All the things that are in this bill are so important for the US economy, it's gonna be jet fuel for the US economy. All boats are gonna rise and The sooner we do that the better and and the risk of not getting it done is enormous, not just for the Republican Party, but for the country.
We've got to do this. We're gonna have the largest tax increase in U.S. history history at the end of the year if we fail, and and all the other uh calamities that we've talked about. So we've got to get it done, and and I think Elon understands the weight of that and I hope he comes around. I'd love to talk to him this week and hope he calls him back today. Um and then MAGA
Mike Johnson says that he thinks that Elon Musk is just flat wrong. Here,
play this
clip.
And then yesterday, you know, twenty-four hours later, um, he does a one eighty and he comes out and opposed the bill. And I it surprised me, frankly. And um I don't take it personal. We don't take it personal. Um you know, i he he's uh i policy differences are not personal. Um I I I think he's he's flat wrong. I think he's um he's way off on this and I've told him as much and and uh I've said it publicly and privately. I'm very consistent in that. But um am I concerned about the effective this on the midterms?
