WASHINGTON – Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are urging lawmakers not to pass a government funding extension that would prevent a major shutdown at the end of the week. "This bill should not pass," Musk wrote on X Wednesday morning.

Congressional leadership on Wednesday unveiled legislation to punt the government funding deadline down the road, but that bill was pronounced dead only hours after it was revealed.

Handing power over to a couple of unelected oligarchs who have never and will never have our best interests in mind isn’t the answer.
