Rep. Barbara Lee: Allowing Elon to Run Our Government Really Has Grave Consequences on the American People

EXCERPT:

LEE: “This was a bipartisan agreed-upon deal to move forward and keep the government open until March. It is really very clear to me that a non-elected billionaire, Elon Musk, has weighed in now and has put forth a message on Twitter from his phone that it's OK to shut the government down and to disregard the bipartisan deal. The public is not going to tolerate that. The Republicans are now breaking the deal that was negotiated. The public wants bipartisanship. Here we had a bipartisan agreement. And to allow a billionaire whose wealth, quite frankly, I believe has doubled since the election to run our government really has grave consequences on the American people as it relates not only to the shutdown but to the path forward in terms of governing.”
