The billionaire is blowing up plans and taking names as he and the GOP-controlled House start to learn about working with each other.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) spoke to reporters just after the House passed a funding bill hours before a deadline to avert a federal government shutdown.

Johnson, who took the speaker role in a MAGA-led revolt against former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, faces a difficult path in retaking the position. He will have to contend with a slim 5-vote GOP majority in January when the caucus chooses a speaker. Any alternative candidate could block Johnson’s selection with just a handful of votes.

President-elect Donald Trump sided with Elon Musk in his opposition to House Speaker Mike Johnson 's bill to temporarily fund the government as Congress scrambles to pass a spending bill with only two days before the deadline to avoid a shutdown.

Sen. Mike Lee predicts that House Speaker Mike Johnson will not remain speaker, calling for Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy to fill the role next.

GOP interim spending bill passed with Democratic Support just before a midnight deadline that would have shut government down

Fox & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones spoke to Trump and reported that the president-elect is not bothered by Democratic taunts that Elon Musk is the President.

Posts by Elon Musk on 'X' X-ed-out a bipartisan stopgap budget deal to fund the government and avoid a midnight Friday shut down deadline.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump's intervention over the government funding bill before the shutdown shows their strength — and Mike Johnson's weakness.

Elon Musk has spent the week derailing a bipartisan funding bill, sending the U.S. government hurtling toward a shutdown. But on Friday, the tech billionaire broadened his scope from domestic to international politics with a ringing endorsement of Alternative for Germany, the country’s far-right political party.

“No bills should be passed Congress until Jan 20, when @realDonaldTrump takes office. None. Zero,” Musk wrote in a separate post, which read like marching orders to the more sycophantic GOP members, some of whom began to fantasize about a Congress led by Musk himself. Yeah, it’s gotten that bad.
