Elon Musk urges Congress to vote against bill to avoid govt. shutdown

Telsa (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, whom President-elect Donald Trump has named to co-lead the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are lobbying on Capitol Hill for Republican lawmakers to vote against legislation that would avert a government shutdown on Friday. Musk said on X (formerly Twitter), a social media platform he owns, that the bill is "dead," though there has been no official indication that this is the case. Yahoo Finance Washington Correspondent Ben Werschkul joins Market Domination Overtime with Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton to break down the evolving story.

The government SHOULD NOT GET A RAISE. THEY DON’T DESERVE IT.

It's designed to enrich themselves not the people.

[jeffwiegers]

If they want a bill to pass take all the insanity out of it.

WANT A RAISE, STAY AND FINISH YOUR JOBS. THEN MAYBE-NOT!

[sandrafowler]

Elon Musk and DJ T will not miss a meal, or have their utilities turned off. This will affect government employees who depend on pay checks.

[STEWARTPayne-fj]

You called it a month ago and now XAI555g is blowing up glad I listened

[bartroberts]

I paid into social security all my life and all I got to show for it is a sandwich.

[rhiannon-bvrk]

It would only affect those working for the government, and it doesn't affect military. It doesn't affect the private sector either. Why are these politicians making SO MUCH MONEY??? NO MORE
