Political Reporter Says Elon Musk Is ‘Playing A Risky Game’ With Trump

Wall Street Journal reporter Vivian Salama said Elon Musk is “definitely playing a risky game” by getting ahead ofDonald Trump to tank a government funding bill.

Democrats and other critics started calling Musk Trump’s “shadow president” on Wednesday after the billionaire Tesla CEO railed repeatedly against the bill in a social media spree, before the president-elect ultimately weighed in, likely delivering a fatal blow to the bipartisan deal negotiated by House Speaker Mike Johnson (Republican, Louisiana).
