Summary
Musk is trying to backtrack on his previous demands to shut down the government.
Elon Musk initially supported a government shutdown, criticizing Republicans who backed a continuing resolution and calling for no new bills until Donald Trump retakes office.
His posts on X encouraged GOP hardliners and contributed to chaos in Congress.
After a bipartisan spending bill failed to pass, Musk blamed Democrats, ignoring that 38 Republicans also voted against it.
Facing backlash for his earlier remarks, Musk is now deflecting responsibility as House Speaker Mike Johnson struggles to avoid a shutdown.
For sure. Education is all of our responsibility.
