Elon Musk Suddenly Realizes He Has No Clue How to Govern

Summary

Musk is trying to backtrack on his previous demands to shut down the government.

Elon Musk initially supported a government shutdown, criticizing Republicans who backed a continuing resolution and calling for no new bills until Donald Trump retakes office.

His posts on X encouraged GOP hardliners and contributed to chaos in Congress.

After a bipartisan spending bill failed to pass, Musk blamed Democrats, ignoring that 38 Republicans also voted against it.

Facing backlash for his earlier remarks, Musk is now deflecting responsibility as House Speaker Mike Johnson struggles to avoid a shutdown.

  • I don't believe in heaven, but people like this make me hope hell is real.

    • The Great Nothing frightens them even more though.

      • In the grand history of the universe, they are already nothing. They just aren't smart enough to realize that.

        They cling to the idea that they are gaining immortality via a legacy. Their legacy will mean nothing in a few turns l tend if thousands of years - probably much sooner. They will be forgotten, just like the rest of us. Time is the great equalizer. It's just a shame their shitty, greedy actions cause so much stress and misery to others in the mean time.
