What would you think if a tech giant, who is also a leader in cryptocurrency, publicly opposed a bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown in the United States, claiming it is "the largest pork-barrel legislation in history"? Wouldn't you find this situation a bit interesting? Indeed, this scene has recently played out in reality, with Musk as the main character, and his 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE) also taking the spotlight in this storm.
Musk posted more than twenty messages on social media, fiercely criticizing this temporary appropriations bill. He not only mocked the bill for being lengthy and filled with unnecessary expenditures but also directly urged lawmakers to vote against it. What’s more shocking is that he threatened that any legislator supporting this bill should be voted out in two years. This move is simply astonishing!
Trump and vice-presidential candidate JD Vance also joined the fray, publicly condemning the bill, arguing that the Republican Party should allow the Democrats' bluster to collapse and let the government shut down. Things have certainly heated up.
So, why is this bill so important? In fact, it is a temporary appropriations bill designed to prevent a government shutdown, which will provide funding for the federal government until March next year. However, with Musk and Trump opposing it, the bill's passage before the deadline has become uncertain. This not only concerns whether the government can operate normally, but also reflects the power struggle between Trump's camp and traditional Republicans.
Musk described the bill as 'criminal,' and his remarks have sparked divisions within the Republican Party. Some conservative lawmakers expressed support for his stance, while moderate lawmakers believe his judgment is 'premature.' This public struggle is undoubtedly an early test of Musk's political strength and that of his DOGE.
So, what exactly is DOGE? Actually, it does not refer to the well-known Dogecoin here, but rather a nickname proposed by Musk and others like Trump for a 'Department of Government Efficiency.' Although this department has yet to be officially established, it has already shown considerable influence in this storm.
Some analysts believe that this incident may signal a new situation for the Republican Party next year. Musk and other Trump allies may exert influence on the party's legislative agenda and then publicly stir opposition on the internet and conservative media when they are dissatisfied with the results. This undoubtedly provides a preview of the governance direction of the Trump administration.
This storm surrounding the spending bill not only concerns whether the government can avoid a shutdown, but is also a political drama. Musk has already shown his influence within the Republican Party, and his DOGE faction has also emerged in this storm.
So, do you think Musk and DOGE's 'bombardment' action will succeed? Will the government really shut down because of this? Let's wait and see!
