    Might as well turn this clown show into a full on circus. Nothing matters now. Just grab some popcorn and bear witness to the collapse.

    They should do it. A lot of reps are sharpening their knives advocating for this irritant to step into their turf.

    The Speaker makes a lot of enemies. A speaker with slim majority with a caucus full of petulant narcissists, zealots and corrupt grifters is going to have a bad time. Nobody should want that job. Imagine being handed an unwinnable situation and then personally taking all the blame when it doesn’t go the way your infantile emperor desires. This is a plot to ice Musk out of the halls of power.

        I think Rand is genuine, I suspect other members of the caucus are eager to introduce Musk to politics on the hill.

    "A lot of the Republicans are pushing for him to become speaker of the House, which might be a demotion for him because he’s basically the fourth branch of the government.”

    — Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), talking to Axios about Elon Musk.
