Elon Musk weighs in on spending battle
The Tesla billionaire and X owner is weighing in again as lawmakers search for an eleventh-hour solution.
"Either the government should pass sensible bills that actually serve the people or shut it down!"
Musk wrote on X.
His post came shortly after Trump also urged the shutdown to "begin now" under the Biden administration rather than during his presidency if lawmakers were unable to come to an agreement.
The funding fight has been a forum for Musk to exert his political influence. Musk has become a key member of President-elect Donald Trump's inner circle, and played a role in torpedoing an original government spending plan that had bipartisan support.
