President Donald Trump wrote that House Speaker Mike Johnson has his “Complete & Total” support in his bid to retain his role as House Speaker. Shortly afterwards, Elon Musk, who heads up the incoming president’s Department of Government Efficiency, threw his support to Johnson as well.
“I feel the same way!” Musk wrote on X. “You have my full support.”
Johnson leads a narrow Republican majority and faces pushback from the Freedom Caucus, especially after the budget package that blundered its way through Congress at the end of December, averting a government shutdown, but with a lot of drama. Legacy media has worked to drive a wedge between Trump and Musk, but today’s pronouncements show that the alliance is strong.
