Speaker Johnson Goes FULL PANIC As Republicans Ditch Him For Elon Musk

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson gets rocked as party members, including Rand Paul, Marjorie Taylor Greene and more, fully abandon him in calls to replace Johnson with Elon Musk or other terrible options. John Iadarola and Yasmin Kahn break it down on The Damage Report.

"Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has thrown her weight behind Senator Rand Paul’s ridiculous proposal that Elon Musk be elected the speaker of the House of Representatives.

“The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress,” Paul posted Thursday morning on X. “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).”

Quote-tweeting Paul’s proposal approvingly, Greene wrote that she would be “open to supporting” Musk for the speakership.

“DOGE can only truly be accomplished by reigning [sic] in Congress to enact real government efficiency,” Greene wrote, referring to the austerity agenda of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, an advisory panel to be co-led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. “The establishment needs to be shattered just like it was yesterday. This could be the way.”"

Since the speaker is third in line for the presidency, shouldn't they be a US born citizen?

[randypalmer]

Mike Johnson was useful until he wasn't

[Miniweet]

I can’t imagine being ceo of five multibillion dollar corporations gives you enough time and passive income to have enough free time to be in Washington everyday presiding over debates. Guess he won’t have time to fix his damned car.

I hit the like, the moment You said MTG was the dumbest person on the face of the earth!

[CoyoteWoods-fmgj]

Trump fell for musks money like a fat kid in mcdonalds, now musk walks the hallways with his kid on his shoulders like he is the president.

[johnnyfreedom]

Donald Trump can't handle anymore comments about "President Elon Musk, " so they have to make Elon Musk Speaker of the House so he has a different title than Trump!

[MommaFLO]

Now 🤔
Can Elon be #PresidentElonMusk and house speaker at the same time?
Won't that piss off #FirstLadyDonaldTrump ?

[vegaspatt]

Not going to happen, Musk was born in Africa, could not be third in line for the Presidency.

[lawrencejeffrey]

I think President Musk is taking a big risk here. Do you think he is consulting with Vice President Trump or is he going it alone.

[kmac]

Err isn't Speaker third in line for President...???

[KiEntertainer]

Why would Musk want this? He’s president already

[heathermccall]

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedle Dum said Tweedle Dee had spoiled his nice new rattle.
Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar barrel.
Which frightened both our heroes so,
They both forgot their quarrel.

[randypalmer]

Making Musk the house leader would endanger the lives of the president and vice president.

[Hanyoumaru]

This sort of suggestion isn't "disrupting the swamp." It's dumping toxic waste into it and then being surprised that they suddenly have to deal with Solomon Grundy coming out of it.

[DonGoltz]

If there going to save billions why do the need to raise the depth limit

[dugdowndeepdog]

"The establishment thanks you for your rebellion."

[jamesmcdonald]

How could Musk sit in the hair if he is not even a US citizen?

[Aydurmus]

First to comment that we want to see John go rogue.

[lynnewebley]

Quit Mike and screw the Elon, and GOP give Dems the house

[stevenjackson]

Elon has no experience in government kick him out now
