Summary
Elon Musk used his platform X to spread misinformation and rally opposition to a bipartisan stopgap funding bill, prompting GOP defections and Trump’s rejection of the measure.
Musk amplified false claims, including exaggerated congressional pay raises and bioweapons lab funding, which fueled backlash against the bill.
Critics, including Rep. Maxwell Frost, accused Musk of wielding undue influence over Congress, while lawmakers like Rep. Dan Crenshaw called out his fact-checking failures.
The bill’s collapse highlights Musk’s growing role in Trump’s inner circle and his sway over Republican decision-making.
