A day after Elon Musk took to his social media platform X to threaten members of Congress into passing a funding plan, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders applauded.
Sanders made two posts on X Thursday, fearing Musk and Republicans for bending under pressure.
“Are we still a democracy or have we already moved to oligarchy and authoritarianism?” asked the independent senator.
“This week the US Congress reached an agreement to fund our government. Elon Musk, who became $200,000 BILLION richer since Trump was elected, opposed it. Do the Republicans owe the American people? Or President Musk? This is the oligarchy at work,” he said. added in another post.
