Where is Biden? Trump hasn't been inaugurated yet. So the spineless cowards in Congress are bowing to a citizen.

[@MelodyBosh]

Congress. quit thinking like the rich and wealthy. Go back to the basics. basic financial planning. If something is Affordable, its price is reasonable, it is inexpensive, and most people can afford it. An affordable product or service is one that is within most people’s budget. In this context, the word ‘ budget ‘ means how much money somebody has available or put aside to purchase something. Think affordable.

[@lylestavast7652]

Why is an un-elected individual giving direction, or exerting any influence or power over the function of Congress ? is he a registered lobbyist ? Has he been confirmed by any processes with oversight or that falls under the concept of checks and balances in any way ? Why isn't this akin to interfering with the official duties of Congress, like invading it was on Jan 6th ? Any role he might gain after Trump is sworn in would be different under color of Trump's ability to appoint advisers etc, but for now it's blatant interference with a still sitting Congress.

[@cassandratq9301]

How did Musk gain such influence in Congress? 🤔💼

[@orangeofmars2835]

President Musk soon to be Emperor Musk. I appreciate what John Kasich said about passing a clean bill. However, I hear so much talk about the extras that are in the bill but I am not hearing specifically what they are. That is one of the always continuing and annoying thing about media nowdays. So little specifics. We never know what to believe. I like the comment that it was Elon Musk calling the shots and Donald Trump rushed at the end to get ahead of the Parade. Musk is clearly running the show down there in Mar-a-lago.
