Johnson emerged from the Home flooring to cheerlead and attempt to erase all recollections of the GOP’s disastrous dealing with of the invoice—and the way shadow President Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump sabotaged an earlier model of it. When requested if he spoke to Musk or Trump in regards to the last invoice, Johnson’s response was attention-grabbing:
I used to be in fixed contact with, with President Trump, all through this course of. Spoke with him most not too long ago about 45 minutes in the past. He knew precisely what we had been doing and why. And, and this can be a good end result for the nation. I feel he actually is comfortable about this end result as effectively. Elon Musk and I talked inside about an hour in the past.
That certain makes it sound like Musk acquired to okay the deal earlier than Trump did. This, in fact, would contradict the Trump’s crew’s insistence that Donald is completely in cost—and the world’s precise richest man shouldn’t be the one who’s calling the photographs.
