The billionaire businessman has racked up some wins, and a few losses, since becoming a major MAGA power player.

When the billionaire called Rep. Rosa DeLauro an “awful creature,” it was a problem. When he called for the Democrat’s expulsion, it made the problem worse.

The duo will need to garner support from hundreds of members of Congress for any of their suggested spending cuts as co-chairs of the non-governmental Department of Government Efficiency, to become law.

There is no requirement that the Speaker of the House be an elected member of Congress. After Elon Musk all but killed a bill to fund the government, lawmakers now propose to cut out the middleman.

“No, he’s not taking the presidency,” Trump quipped before claiming Democrats were on a “new kick” regarding Musk. “All the different hoaxes, and the new one is, ‘President Trump has ceded the presidency to Elon Musk.’ No, no, that’s not happening.”

When it comes to controlling GOP leaders, Musk has a real advantage. Trump's favorite tool to keep politicians in line, threatening to run a primary opponent, makes even more sense for Musk, who can offer any such person limitless financial resources.

Senator Elizabeth Warren on Saturday condemned billionaire Elon Musk for derailing a bipartisan government funding bill that included a significant package of health care policies.

Representative Tony Gonzales said that "a large part" of Musk's "voice is a reflection of the voice of the people."

One House Republican declared, "It feels like as if Elon Musk is our prime minister.” The closer one looks, the worse the comment appears.

CNN anchor Dana Bash on Sunday hit back at Sen. Bill Hagerty ’s (R-Tenn.) claim that Elon Musk was “the only way we would even know” about the government funding plan after the billionaire trashed the deal on his X platform.

Elon Musk's wealth is skyrocketing. His alliance with Donald Trump has him poised to 2025 more powerful than ever before.
