To put it in perspective, for Elon Musk, $250 million is the equivalent of $26.21 for someone who makes $50k a year in salary.

Why are R's not supporting this stripped down bill? I don't understand--what do they want? a two sentence straight extension? or they just want the govt closed until 1/20, so nothing will satisfy them?

This is what Elon was advocating yesterday.

How could any serious person advocate shutting down the USG until 1/20? That is going to wreck the economy and hurt a lot of ordinary people in and out of government.

I guess when you're a billionaire, you don't care about wrecking the economy because you have enough money to ride it out and survive and maybe even pick up some companies at a lower price?

But, seriously, who does he think is going to buy Teslas when we the economy collapses?

How is that going to wreck the economy?

You realize there were eight shutdowns in Reagan's term. Yet here we are.

Is the sky still falling?

There were not 8 shutdowns during Reagan's Presidency. There were 3 - one lasted a day, the other 2 were 4hours long.

Please stop spreading lies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_shutdowns_in_the_United_States

It's not going to wreck the economy. Might dent it a little bit.

It's going to wreck the transition and inauguration. Literally harming themselves.

Trump is backing this plan, but many of the GOP House members do not, at least not at the moment.

It supposedly suspends the debt ceiling for two years. I don’t think the democrats will support. Or a decent chunk of republicans either.

And again why suspend the debt ceiling if spending is going to be brought under control “on day 1”?
