Quote-tweeting Paul’s proposal approvingly, Greene wrote that she would be “open to supporting” Musk for the speakership.
“DOGE can only truly be accomplished by reigning [sic] in Congress to enact real government efficiency,” Greene wrote, referring to the austerity agenda of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, an advisory panel to be co-led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. “The establishment needs to be shattered just like it was yesterday. This could be the way.”
On Thursday afternoon, according to Daily Mail reporter Jon Michael Raasch, Greene emailed her constituents a survey asking if they would support Musk as House speaker. “DOGE could become the legislative branch,” the accompanying message says. The congresswoman posed the same question in a poll on Musk’s platform, X, which has garnered over 57,000 votes by the time of writing—82.7 percent of which are in favor of him getting the gavel.

MTG has shown she is willing to say anything for the right price, and this is her trying to pledge fealty to Musk and his wealth.

How is this not ringing national alarm bells?? A fucking South-African Immigrant Nepo baby is directly influencing the lives of the American People without our consent. fucking disgraceful
Edit: Updating this so I dont have to respond to this in perpetuity.
People are saying its xenophobic for me to bring up musks immigration status as a point of contention. Context matters. Immigrants (at least the textbook immigrant that the GOP is constantly losing their fucking minds over) are good people, and they come to our country to seek better opportunities. However Elon Musk is an immigrant who is the richest individual on earth, and is actively trying to dismantly our democracy brick by brick. So you can say its xeno-phobic if you want, but I stick by it.
