Hi there, everyone. It's Fort Gargan, New York. Will the real president-elect please stand up?

In just a matter of hours, the world's richest man, burying what was a relatively inoffensive,

bipartisan bill to keep the government running in a mountain of

disinformation, bringing the government to the edge of a shutdown and leading everyone to ask,

who's in charge? Who's going to call the shots in Trump 2.0? A plan to fund the government

filled with vital things like disaster aid and other items, things that have passed time and time again in Congress, a bill that was negotiated by Speaker Mike Johnson and the Democrats met its match in Elon Musk.

Here's what happened, according to NBC's reporting.

Quote, Musk posted to X about the funding bill more than 100 times over the course of the day.

He repeatedly called the bill criminal and asked his followers to call their representatives.

But he also posted memes, including one of him taking a sword to the bill

and another referring to the kill bill films from director

Quentin Tarantino. There were memes and primary threats and some outright flagrant

disinformation. This from Politico, quote, Musk didn't seem to think a government shutdown would have

significant consequences for the country. He responded, yes, to a post that read,

just closed down the government until January 20th.

Defund everything.

We will be fine for 33 days.

The billionaire falsely claimed that members of Congress

would get a 40% pay raise as part of the package,

something both Musk and the X

account for his so-called Department of Government Efficiency got wrong.

Musk reposted a claim that the bill would provide $3 billion for a new NFL stadium in Washington.
