Rand Paul Proposes Elon Musk as Next Speaker of the House to Disrupt Establishment After Short-Term Spending Bill Conflict with Mike Johnson
Dec 19, 2024, 01:35 PM
Senator Rand Paul has proposed that Elon Musk be appointed as the new Speaker of the House, suggesting that such a move could disrupt the political establishment. Paul emphasized that the Speaker need not be a member of Congress, stating, "Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk . . . think about it . . . nothing’s impossible." This call comes after Musk's involvement in recent political events, including his role in undermining a bipartisan agreement on a short-term spending bill. Paul is the first to publicly advocate for Musk's candidacy, with various commentators expressing support for the idea.
