Government Shutdown Looms After Elon Musk Sinks Bipartisan Budget Deal
Briefly

Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Patty Murray criticized billionaire Elon Musk for influencing government shutdown negotiations, emphasizing the need for bipartisan cooperation and necessary funding for disaster relief.
Murray highlighted the importance of the bipartisan agreement already in place for responsible governance, noting that the public desires stability rather than the chaos instigated by an 'unelected billionaire.'
The White House Office of Management and Budget warned that agencies must prepare for a potential government shutdown if Congress doesn't reach an agreement before midnight.
Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy opposed the bipartisan deal, prompting concerns about their influence in Trump’s administration, leading critics to label Musk as a 'shadow president'.
