“Elon Musk is arguably the most powerful person in business, the most powerful man in media and, at least at this moment, the most powerful man in politics,” Axios reports.
“This much power, across this many pillars of society, is without precedent. Musk yesterday single-handedly, his voice amplified by his daylong bombardment of scores of tweets on his X platform, sank a 1,547-page, bipartisan House spending bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.”
“It’s a breathtaking preview of the new power centers that will rewire Washington beginning with Trump’s inauguration 32 days from now.”
Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) floated Elon Musk as a replacement for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
