President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday came out against a Republican-backed government funding bill, siding with Elon Musk’s crusade against the package and raising the odds of a government shutdown.

Trump is opposed to the continuing resolution put forward by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, according to a source familiar with the president-elect’s thinking, who was granted anonymity to describe private conversations.

The source confirmed that Trump told a Fox News host he is “totally against” the CR.

The tech scion and mega-ally of President-elect Donald Trump took to his social platform X on Wednesday to slam a short-term funding bill Johnson backed, criticizing the 1,547-page continuing resolution for its numerous unrelated spending measures — including a raise for lawmakers — and calling it “criminal,” “unconscionable” and a “crime against the American people.”

It started at 4:15 a.m. ET, when Musk posted on X “this bill should not pass.”

And he hasn’t let up since, repeatedly urging his nearly 208 million followers to call their representatives to “Stop the steal of your tax dollars!” and threatening that “Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!”

Elon made it a personal crusade and then got Trump to back it, so its dead now

Yup. Dont go kicking that bullshyt about what Dems had to offer as pragmatic voting is not a sin.

We were warned in every which way possible and millions of people sat home and a bunch more played footsie like getting this mf out the paint was not the most important single issue.

That’s fine. Congress members should make more. But there should be bans on stock trading and bribes.
