Trump's attempt to shut down US government fails

[blup]

According to the Washington Post, President Musk's net worth has increased by $170 billion since the election.

And growing

His $280 million campaign spend must be the most astute investment in human history.

His falling out with the Don if, or rather when it comes, will be spectacular. For the time being Trumpf owes him

I think the title of this thread is wrong.

Trump wasn’t trying to stop the bill it was Musk, to save face Trump suddenly decided to scupper it.

Leon Mush used it as an exercise to prove he has power over Trump.

America is now a puppet for 2 man child egomaniacs

I thought the old saying that America was the best democracy that money could buy was just a joke.
It appears i was wrong.

Musk wants to slash government spending while increasing billion dollar federal contracts to himself and Space X.

Our democracy are intending to delay local elections by at least a year on the basis of council mergers taking place, the areas affected are predominantly areas where Reform are expected to perform well.
Our democracy are looking at changing electoral law in a way that prevents overseas citizens giving donations to political parties because of talk Musk pay give Reform a few quid. I'm fairly certain Musk will find a way round it because of his UK business interests.

That’s a predictable false claim typical of right wing populists.
