Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) came out in support of calls to make billionaire Elon Musk speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after he led the charge to upend a bill that would have prevented a government shutdown.
In a Thursday post on X (formerly Twitter), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) became the first lawmaker to support the idea of Musk as speaker.
“Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk,” Paul wrote. “[N]othing’s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka ‘uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin’ minds).”

In a reply to Paul, Greene suggested she would vote for Musk to take on the role.
“I’d be open to supporting [Musk] for Speaker of the House,” she insisted. “DOGE can only truly be accomplished by reigning in Congress to enact real government efficiency.”
“The establishment needs to be shattered just like it was yesterday,” Greene added. “This could be the way.”
