How is Musk involved in the current budget debacle aside from being "republican"? It's easy to blame stuff on him when he was running DOGE, but since his falling out with trump blaming every cut on Musk is a tired and expired meme.

Given how much he contributed to the election outcome it hardly seems tired to blame him for the consequences.

Plus he's on Twitter every week publicly discussing how much he uses the platform to put his thumb on the scale of discourse towards his personal beliefs.

In what world is he not involved?

The consequences of blocking a CR?

		The consequences of the 2024 election in which he played a significant role. This "budget debacle" is a direct consequence. Also, Elon has weighed in quite aggressively on prior budgetary fights, so it would be crazy to say his influence isn't being felt here. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5046887-elon-musk-slam...

"He gave the federal government organizational cancer, but he left now so he's not to blame"

Americans will be living with Musk's legacy for decades.

Actions speak to the character of a person. And some actions have long lasting consequences.

It's not because he no longer works there that he doesn't have the exact same ideology. And now he's trying to push a Trump-like figure in the UK

I'm okay with blaming him along with all of these Austin turds with podcasts.
