Elon Musk Backs Florida Sen. Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk endorsed Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) to be the next Senate Majority Leader, days after Republicans secured a majority in the Senate.
"Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader!" Musk wrote in a post on X, responding to a post from Scott stating that he would "do whatever it takes to get" President-elect Donald Trump's "nominations through as quickly as possible."
Scott's post came in response to Trump writing that "any Republican Senator" who was seeking to be the Senate Majority Leader "must agree to Recess Appointments," noting that without it, they would "not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner."
