Billionaires against the establishment
This stupid country:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested Elon Musk serve as Speaker in a Thursday morning post on X following contentious debates over the continuing resolution (CR).
“The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress . . . ,” Paul wrote.
“Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk . . . think about it . . . nothing’s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka ‘uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin’ minds).”
Later Thursday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said she would be open to supporting Musk to replace Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a post quoting Paul.
“I’d be open to supporting @elonmusk for Speaker of the House. DOGE can only truly be accomplished by reigning in Congress to enact real government efficiency,” Greene wrote on X.
“The establishment needs to be shattered just like it was yesterday. This could be the way,” she added.
I didn’t have “hand over the government to a foreign plutocrat” on my Fascism: 2025 Advanced Player bingo card, but I guess that’s where all this outside the box disruption to create blockchain synergies in a techno-dynamic environment was eventually going to end up.
. . . also a little semantic nitpick at the world burns: I’ve noticed that “free reign” for “free rein” has become so common that neither editors or AI assuming there’s a difference anymore seem to catch it. “Reigning in” is a special kind of dumb but that’s our Marge!
