Elon Musk's Threat to Senators: A Democracy Warning?

Washington DC, USAFri Nov 22 2024
Billionaire Elon Musk is reportedly throwing his weight behind a controversial choice. He's threatening to back primary challenges against Republican senators who speak out against former Representative Matt Gaetz for a top job in Donald Trump's administration. An advisor close to Trump spilled the beans to ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl, revealing that Trump's been pressuring senators directly. "If you're against Gaetz, you're buying yourself a primary, " the advisor warned. Musk, they said, will finance these challengers. This isn't just a casual threat—it highlights a bigger concern. One wealthy guy influencing politics is a big no-no, right? "True corruption of democracy, " as someone put it. It doesn't matter if you care about the nitty-gritty of democracy. This is a big deal.
