Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy Denounce 'Criminal' Spending Bill with Alleged 40% Congressional Pay Raise
Dec 18, 2024, 06:21 PM
Elon Musk has come out strongly against the congressional bill intended to avert a looming government shutdown. Labeling the spending bill as 'outrageous' and 'criminal', Musk criticized the inclusion of what he claims is a 40% pay increase for Congress and asserted that any member of the House or Senate who votes for the bill 'deserves to be voted out in two years'. His comments add to the growing conservative opposition, including from presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, to House Speaker Mike Johnson's stopgap funding plan. Musk's influence may impact lawmakers' support for the bill, increasing the likelihood of a government shutdown.
