The billionaire businessman has racked up some wins, and a few losses, since becoming a major MAGA power player.

CNN anchor Dana Bash on Sunday hit back at Sen. Bill Hagerty’s (R-Tenn.) claim that Elon Musk was “the only way we would even know” about the government funding plan after the billionaire trashed the deal on his X platform.

When the billionaire called Rep. Rosa DeLauro an “awful creature,” it was a problem. When he called for the Democrat’s expulsion, it made the problem worse.

Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales spoke about the role Elon Musk is playing as a mediator between President-elect Trump and House Speaker Johnson. "We have a president, we have a vice president, we have a speaker.

“No, he’s not taking the presidency,” Trump quipped before claiming Democrats were on a “new kick” regarding Musk. “All the different hoaxes, and the new one is, ‘President Trump has ceded the presidency to Elon Musk.’ No, no, that’s not happening.”

When it comes to controlling GOP leaders, Musk has a real advantage. Trump's favorite tool to keep politicians in line, threatening to run a primary opponent, makes even more sense for Musk, who can offer any such person limitless financial resources.

Senator Elizabeth Warren on Saturday condemned billionaire Elon Musk for derailing a bipartisan government funding bill that included a significant package of health care policies.

Representative Tony Gonzales said that "a large part" of Musk's "voice is a reflection of the voice of the people."

President-elect Donald Trump, after rejecting House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to avoid a government shutdown, worked the phones on Thursday, showing wavering confidence in Johnson and claiming he is aligned with billionaire Elon Musk, who first posted multiple calls to kill the GOP-brokered spending deal.

Democrats have started calling Elon Musk the "co-president" or "shadow president" to Trump. His team is making clear that's not true.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) floated a surprising new position for tech billionaire Elon Musk after he spearheaded the charge to tank a bipartisan spending deal on Wednesday.
