<p>Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) said during an interview over the weekend that Elon Musk has become like a prime minister for the incoming Republican government.</p>
<p>Gonzales made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; with Margaret Brennan while talking about the impact that Musk and President-elect Donald Trump had on passing a short term spending bill last week to keep the government open.</p>
<p>&#8220;Elon Musk is tweeting against bipartisan deals negotiated and led by the speaker of the House,&#8221; Brennan said. &#8220;What role exactly is he playing here?&#8221;</p>
<p>Gonzales responded: &#8220;It&#8217;s kind of interesting. We have a president. We have a vice president. We have a speaker. And it feels as if Elon Musk is our prime minister.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He has a voice,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I think a lot of – large part of that voice is a reflection of the voice of the people. Once again, these – a 1,500-page bill, how does that pass the smell test? It&#8217;s absolutely wrong. It&#8217;s what&#8217;s wrong with this place. So we have to get back to regular order.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The other part of it too is, while House Republicans were fighting over this spending bill, guess what Senate Democrats were doing?&#8221; he continued. &#8220;They were ensuring that President Biden got his 235th liberal judge over the finish line. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important that House Republicans stay united, stay laser-focused on delivering on a President Trump agenda next year.&#8221;</p>
