Elon Musk warns Republicans against standing in Trump's way — or his

NewsEnglish • 1 day ago

Donald Trump’s second term comes with the specter of the world’s richest man serving as his political enforcer.

Summary

Elon Musk has emerged as a key enforcer of Donald Trump’s agenda, warning Republicans against opposing Trump’s policies and Cabinet picks.

Musk’s political action committee, America PAC, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, spending heavily in swing states and funding groups like RBG PAC to broaden voter appeal.

Musk has hinted at funding primary challenges against GOP lawmakers who resist Trump, creating a “naughty and nice list” with ally Vivek Ramaswamy.

With allies in Trump’s administration and influence through his platform X, Musk’s political clout is growing rapidly.

  I’ve never referred to that as spitting. My family does have a proud tradition of sharting though. We’re considered regional experts!
