Elon Musk Says He Will Fund Moderate Democrats in Primaries Against Far-Left Incumbents
Elon Musk’s crusade against the left is just getting started.
The world’s richest man, who was a key supporter of Donald Trump during his successful presidential campaign, announced this week that he would be funding primary challenges to radical Democrats.
Musk made the threat in response to comments made by Democratic Congressman Richard Neal amid Musk’s outsized role in blocking the passage of another bloated spending bill.
“Can you imagine what the next two years are going to be like if every time there’s a tweet from an individual who has no official portfolio threatens members on the Republican side with a primary, they succumb?” Neal complained on the House floor.
“Oh … forgot to mention that I’m also going to be funding moderate candidates in heavily Democrat districts, so that the country can get rid of those who don’t represent them, like this jackass,” Musk responded.

His comments come amid growing anger in Democratic circles that Musk, who was recently appointed by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, has too much power influence.
With a net worth fast approaching half a trillion dollars, Musk’s financial firepower and political influence could help determine the outcome of countless political races around the world.
Neal, who has served Massachusetts’s 1st Congressional District since 1989 and is known for his aggressively liberal voting record, is likely to be among them.

Democratic Party elites are now complaining about the influence of billionaires in American politics, which is ironic given their party has long been funded by the likes of George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and Bill Gates.
Many have speculated that his decision to purchase Twitter, which he has since renamed as X, as well as throw his support behind Donald Trump on the campaign trail may have been decisive in Trump’s landslide victory over Kamala Harris.
By purchasing Twitter and ending the censorship regime that previously controlled the company, Musk has allowed the free flow of information in a way that allows people around the world to learn what is actually happening in their countries.
As a result of this shift, left-wing and globalist-aligned politicians are falling like dominos and are being replaced with conservative and populist candidates, including Donald Trump. Long may that trend continue.
