Why is MAGA Mike Johnson suddenly losing support from his own party?
No, MAGA Mike, it's all falling apart. No, MAGA Mike, the Republican Speaker of the House, is getting betrayed not just by Elon Musk, but from others in his own party. Even MAGA Republican Congress members who voted for the disastrous budget bill. Now that Elon Musk is saying he's against it, you've got these MAGA Republican Congress members. Members saying that they're against it too. As I said, no, MAGA Mike Johnson. Take a look at MAGA Republican Congress member Scott Perry, who voted for the disastrous budget bill, now coming out against it. After Elon Musk posts, I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill. Is a disgusting abomination.
MAGA Republican Congressmember Scott Perry goes. So at Elon Musk is right to call out the House leadership. I wish I had a nickel for every time the Freedom Caucus sounded the alarm and nobody listened. Only to find out the hard way, we were right all along. We expect massive improvements from the He said it before it gets back to the house. Dude. You voted for this. Why wouldn't you make the improvements? You're from the Freedom Caucus. Why'd the Freedom Caucus vote for this? To give it back to the Senate to then make the cuts that you're supposed to make? What in the world is going on? You voted for this. As we said, is this you? You voted for it. Then you have MAGA Republican Senator Rand Paul, who's always come out against this disastrous bill.
He goes, I agree with Elon. We have both seen the massive wasted government spending, and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake. Then you have uh Rand Paul say, some of us are trying to stop confident.
Which Republican lawmakers turned against the budget bill after Elon Musk’s criticism?
Congress making America bankrupt in response to what Elon Musk said. Then you have MAGA Republican Senator Mike Lee, who calls himself at Based, Mike Lee. The dude calls himself based. I don't really know what based fully means, but I would imagine the least base thing is calling yourself based. So in response to Elon Musk coming out against this, Mike Lee goes, Federal spending has become excessive. The resulting inflation harms Americans and weaponizes government. The Senate can make this bill better. It must now do so. Marjorie Taylor Green, no, Mega Mike, it's Marjorie Taylor Green, too. No. Anyway, that's like uh I saw that on TikTok where they go, no, it may get annoying, so I'll stop doing it. But anyway.
MAGA Republican Congress member uh Marjorie Taylor Green goes. Full transparency. I didn't know I did not know about this section on pages 278 and 279 of the budget bill that strips the states of their right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly opposed to this, and it is a violation of states' rights. And I would Have voted no if I had known this was in there. We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years, and giving it free reign and tying states' hands is potentially dangerous. This needs to be stripped out in the Senate. When the budget comes back to the House for approval after the Senate changes, I will not vote for it with this in it. Our editor-in-chief Ron Philipkowski goes, apparently Marge.
I guess Scott Perry also didn't read the bill before they voted on it. And just to remind you what Elon Musk was saying all day yesterday, he goes, I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous Porkfield congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it. You know you did wrong. You know it. It will massively increase the already gigantic.
What does the Freedom Caucus say about the budget’s impact on inflation and debt?
Gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion and burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable math or unsustainable debt, to which MAGA Republican Thomas Massey said, he's right. Elon Musk is right. To which Elon Musk says, simple math, man, simple math. And then Elon Musk says, fire these Republicans. Get rid of these Republicans. He goes, in November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people. And it was in response to this guy, Matt Van Swall, saying, Okay, let me get this straight.
