Rand Paul and Mike Lee Suggest Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy for House Speaker
Dec 19, 2024, 04:40 PM
Several Republican figures, including Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee, have suggested that Elon Musk be considered for the role of Speaker of the House, citing the potential for the billionaire entrepreneur to 'disrupt the swamp.' Paul noted, 'Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk... think about it... nothing's impossible.' He highlighted that the Speaker does not need to be a member of Congress and proposed Musk as a candidate following his influence in derailing a bipartisan short-term spending bill. Mike Lee also floated the idea of either Musk or businessman Vivek Ramaswamy as Speaker, stating it would 'revolutionize everything' and lead to 'a government of, by, and for the people.' Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed openness to supporting Musk for the position. The suggestions come amid growing discontent with current Speaker Mike Johnson over budget negotiations and a looming government shutdown. Musk's increasing involvement in political matters, including his recent opposition to the spending bill, has garnered attention from conservative lawmakers seeking unconventional leadership options.
