The bill is unlikely to receive the bipartisan support needed to pass Congress.

Understatement of the century, lol

It’s obviously completely performative, this is a very common move in US politics in general, I’ve noticed–introducing a bill they know is definitely not going to pass, but makes them look good to their base.

He did a lot more than just convince Trump.

But he didn’t do either of the two things the headline claims he did, so, again, my point stands.

Did Musk declare himself President? No. Did he shut down the government? No.

If I convinced my friend to ask that girl out he’s interested in, would it be accurate to say I asked her out? Also no.

My statement stands. The headline is bullshit, ragebait bullshit I might add.

The article doesn’t show any evidence of Musk ‘declaring himself President’, and he didn’t (and can’t) shut down the government either.

What the fuck is this headline?

This is major league copium. The fact is that Trump’s opponent got way more votes in 2020 than in 2024, and had the blue turnout in 2024 equaled what it was in 2020, he would not have won in 2024. Period.
