In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk recently exerted his influence in the political arena, causing a significant impact on a bipartisan budget proposal. Musk's relentless social media campaign led to the abrupt halt of a measure negotiated by GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson, which was aimed at preventing a partial shutdown of the federal government.
Following Musk's public pressure, President Donald Trump initially refrained from expressing confidence in Johnson but later commended him and House leaders for reaching a new agreement to fund the government and raise the debt ceiling.
