Tech billionaire Elon Musk‘s online pressure campaign over the federal government’s operations faced some blowback from lawmakers this week after a continuing resolution to fund the government was scrapped.

Musk, an influential ally of President-elect Donald Trump, took to social media to repeatedly denounce the funding bill, helping to convince House GOP leadership to pull a vote on the legislation just days before a government shutdown could begin Friday at midnight.

“Kill the Bill,” Musk wrote on X, the social media platform he owns.

In another post, he urged constituents to call their members of Congress to “stop the steal of your tax dollars!”

Vivek had also announced that he read the bill and that our tax dollars were being stolen -- so both came across with basically the same message.

So far -- I think the two of them will be helpful and perhaps more dollars will wind up in our pockets instead of our politicians; at least that's what I'm hoping for.

Elon Musk replied to Travis Kelce after the NFL player labelled his X app ‘a toxic waste dump’: “You won’t be missed, Travis,” Musk tweeted. “I don’t have time to banter with someone ‘riding the coattails’ of your GF publicly, so Bye Bye.”
