Thomas Massie Wants Elon Musk to Fund Primary Challengers to Trump Supporters in Congress
June 4, 2025 | Sundance |
If you have walked the deep political weeds with us, you will likely remember the warnings.Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, Rand Paul and other fellow republican travelers will join with Elon Musk and the alligator emoji network to oppose President Trump as soon as they can get back into the minority.
There is an intention behind this alignment of interests, which includes the Tech Bros (and Sea Island),that ends with a Vance-DeSantis promoted effort in 2028. The only thing standing in their way is MAGA. As a result, MAGA must be fractured.
The money center behind the strategy is working on a learning curve. Having failed with prior launches of similar approaches (ref. DeSantis ’23/’24),they are now doing much more proactive seeding.
Yeah, I know, I know; some will say I’m crazy. I’m not. I’ve watched this exact group’s constructs for over 14 years now. All the data indicates this approach;the only unknown variables are the names of the political representativeswho will participate. Today, Thomas Massie is asking Elon Musk to fund primary challengers against the House republicans who support Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON DC –Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said Elon Musk should fund primary challenges against almost every Republicanwho voted for President Donald Trump‘s “big, beautiful bill” last week. “I don’t primary my colleagues, but I feel pretty good about him doing it,” Massie told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
“There’s a few others that should be spared,” when asked to clarify if he meant all 215 House Republicans who supported the legislation.“But people want term limits, right? Elon can bring term limits.”
Musk came out against the massive Trump agenda bill that House Republicans passed last week. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” Musk first posted.
It was followed by several posts on the national debt, and one that read, “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.”
Massie said on Wednesday, “I just think he made one mistake when misstatement –he said take them out in November. I would take them out in primaries if I were Elon Musk.” (more)
Massie wants to give control of the House to Democrats. With Democrats in control President Trump is then isolated, ridiculed, marginalized and targeted again. This approach, the Massie strategists believe, diminishes President Trump, and weakens his endorsement power in the lead up to the ’28 contest.
Both Massie and Musk supported Ron DeSantis until Trump finished crushing him in 2024. This is simply a replay.
The Sea Island GOPe are nothing if not predictable.
Team Cruz in ’16, became Team DeSantis in ’24, will be Team Vance in ’28.
Watch.
(Sundance is rarely wrong on these matters. Why not primary Massie? Massie has hated Trump from Day one in 2017, even though Trump worked hard for America and did a great job.One slight problem of Musk doing this, his companies rely on major government subsidies, would really do this in mid terms when Trump is still President. Did Musk fundraise and campaign for Trump only because he wanted more contracts? Maybe, he got pissed because he thought he would get more contracts under Trump. He only donated when Trump was almost killed and maybe he was making sure Bidan didn’t win, because Bidan’s admin harassed the shit out of his companies, unjustly==. So maybe the goal was to get the government off his neck by electing Trump. Musk sure is convincing either way. The Vance thing is confusing, but in some ways I can understand, most people think it will be Rubio.)
