Elon Musk Urges Voters to Oust Spending Bill Supporters

Elon Musk has vehemently opposed a bipartisan spending bill designed to avert a government shutdown, labeling it a 'criminal bill' and urging voters to oust lawmakers who support it. This continuing resolution (CR) aims to extend government funding through March 14, 2025, while providing over $100 billion in disaster aid and additional economic relief. Musk's call to action aligns with the sentiments of hardline conservatives who feel blindsided by the inclusion of unrelated policy provisions in the bill. The legislation has sparked intense debate among lawmakers, with many conservatives criticizing it for promoting reckless spending. House GOP leaders are now scrambling for alternatives after facing significant backlash from their party. The urgency is heightened as the government risks shutting down if a deal isn't reached by the upcoming deadline.
