Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has voiced her opinion regarding Elon Musk’s role in the Capitol Hill spending scandal.
Clinton’s comments coincide with House Democrats accusing Republicans of being “Extreme MAGA” and pushing the nation towards a government shutdown.
“If you’re just catching up: the Republican Party, taking orders from the world’s richest man, is on course to shut down the government over the holidays.
“Stopping paychecks for our troops and nutrition benefits for low-income families just in time for Christmas,” Clinton wrote in a post on X.
According to Fox News, if a compromise cannot be reached to extend the government’s funding deadline until March and keep spending at 2024 levels, the U.S. government will go into partial closure at midnight on Saturday.
The story claims that Musk publicly opposed the initial spending agreement that House Speaker Mike Johnson struck with Democrats.
However, if a Republican voted for it, the richest man in the world vowed to support a primary challenge.
House Republicans, meanwhile, released a revised version Thursday that was far shorter and included disaster assistance as well as a two-year debt ceiling suspension, as requested by President-elect Donald Trump.
However, the plan failed in the House as Democrats united against it and some Republicans refused to support it, with many seemingly dissatisfied with Musk’s seeming influence.
