What actually happened here is that the Dems rolled Speaker Johnson on the CR and counted on the media to conceal its worst provisions. Moreover, in the absence of Elon Musk and X, the voters wouldn’t have learned about the dirty work that went on behind closed doors in the House and Senate. This is why the DNC and their propagandists see the alliance between Trump and Musk as a threat. Trump will try to clean up the mess created by the people who actually run the Biden administration, and Musk will provide the only space that allows transparency and free expression. The Democrats must drive a wedge between these two men or they will spend a long time in the political wilderness.
