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.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

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.”
