Winners And Losers From Last Night's Government Funding Package

• https://activistpost.com, By Tyler Durden

After passing through the house on the third try, the funding bill passed overnight in the Senate on Saturday by a vote of 85-11, while the House vote was 366-34.

Here are the winners and losers:
Elon Musk – whose viral posts on X helped spread the word that the original 1500+ page bill was total bullshit that was packed with pork.

The billionaire businessman and close Trump ally came out against Johnson's initial spending plan — which was bipartisan and bicameral — prompting a flood of Republicans to follow suit. The proposal never made it to the floor for a vote amid the widespread opposition.

When Johnson's grip on the gavel appeared to be losing its strength, some GOP lawmakers floated Musk as a potential Speaker — a longshot prospect but one that underscored their admiration for the SpaceX and Tesla CEO, and discontent with Johnson's leadership. A House Speaker is not required to actually be a member of the House. -The Hill
