United States former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has sounded off about Elon Musk’s influence over the spending drama on Capitol Hill.
Clinton’s comments come as House Democrats claim that ‘Extreme MAGA’ Republicans were driving the country to a government shutdown.
“If you’re just catching up: the Republican Party, taking orders from the world’s richest man, is on course to shut down the government over the holidays.
“Stopping paychecks for our troops and nutrition benefits for low-income families just in time for Christmas,” Clinton wrote in a post on X.
Fox News reports that the U.S government will go into partial shutdown at midnight Saturday if there’s no passable deal to kick the government funding deadline to March and continue spending at 2024 levels.
According to the report, Musk had come out in strong opposition to the original spending deal House Speaker, Mike Johnson, negotiated with Democrats
