Elon Musk’s harsh threat to some members of Congress: “They will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth”
Elon Musk has once again undertaken his new favourite hobby: attack Trump’s politics online.
When Donald Trump went back and forth on his trade deals, the media gave him the acronym of TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out.
What if we did the same to Elon — something that would keep him away from social media, something to stop him from bombarding us with his incessant tweeting.
What about Stop Harassing, It’s Twitter, Elon. Does that work?

Anyway, Mr Musk, the multi-billionaire recently cut from Trump’s government for probably not selling enough Teslas to the Israelis, has retreated to his house and hasn’t left his phone alone since, constantly posting angry messages about the Trump administration like he’s expecting a ‘U OK babes? DM me’ reply from someone.
He’s hit out at Trump himself, saying the 47th President is on the Epstein Files, and and even calling for his impeachment.
Trump’s new bill, according to non-partisan analysts, will add about $3trn to US debt, potentially crippling the already struggling economy. And now Musk is not wearing his Trump pjamas, the South African has taken to his favourite social media site to lambast the bill:
“Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth”, he wrote.
It’s well known that Musk’s funding was what propelled Trump into office for the second time, which is what makes the last line of his tweet so ominous.
Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!

And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.
