Republicans are keeping their options open…
On Thursday, multiple Republicans suggested Elon Musk become the next Speaker of the House.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested Elon Musk serve as Speaker in a Thursday morning post on X following contentious debates over the continuing resolution (CR).
“The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress . . . ,” Paul wrote.
“Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk . . . think about it . . . nothing’s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka ‘uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin’ minds).”
Later Thursday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said she would be open to supporting Musk to replace Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a post quoting Paul.
“I’d be open to supporting @elonmusk for Speaker of the House. DOGE can only truly be accomplished by reigning in Congress to enact real government efficiency,” Greene wrote on X.
“The establishment needs to be shattered just like it was yesterday. This could be the way,” she added.
Musk is the co-leader of President-elect Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), an advisory panel focused on cutting spending and the size of the federal government.
The Speaker is not required to be an elected member of the House.

Can anybody here spell? He would be reining in Congress, but would not be reigning. If the building’s roof leaked, it might be raining in Congress, which (not witch, though Pelousy might be one) would be appropriate, as they plot to raise their own salaries.
Musk is too busy. Vivek would be better with more time to devote to the job.Reply
