Say goodbye to lower drug prices among other things.
- Democracy is another one
  
  Yeah but just wait, Xmocracy will be amazing guys, way better, no censorship
  Also pls buy doge

I misread the headline as "Elon Musk Killed" and I was so happy for a moment.
- This is definitely a CEO that needs a visit from St. Luigi.
  
  ~~Sweet Mother, sweet Mother~~ St Luigi, St Luigi
  Send your child unto me
  For the sins of the unworthy
  Must be baptized in blood and fear
  
  Bruh the guy is going to jail. You need to call someone else.
  Mario? Wario? Waluigi?
- !RemindMe

This is insane. You know he's just losing his mind over this new found power.
It’d be a real shame if he got Luigied.
- There's no way, he's too scared to risk walking around in public without security
  
  Or his kid

Congratulations to President Musk and First Lady Trump for coming together during these trying times for LGBBQ couples to ruin as many lives as possible.

Lmao this timeline is so deeply fucking stupid

I am literally disgusted by this. I feel revulsion.

Wow, I am really proud of Musk’s presidential behavior on this. He’s really showing great leadership!
(Tell your friends, it will piss off Trump if Elon gets more praise than him. Get this, we get the rich to eat each other!)
- It'll piss of First Lady Trump? Oh no, how awful.

I'm glad Donald Trump and the Republicans can't be Bought! That would be REAL SWAMPLIKE BEHAVIOUR if they could!
- Of course, they can't be bought, they're the blatant billionaire party, so of course, they won't fight for what they don't lack...

So you create a crisis so you can 'save the people' and pay yourself on the back

Jeeze president musk is ruining things and he isn't even in office yet

Umm, the title of this post and the title of the article and not the same:
Elon Musk leads charge to kill spending bill meant to avert government shutdown
What is this about "has killed"?
- That was the original title under which the article was published. They later changed it.
  
  I hate it when websites do that. They should be required to state that an article was edited after posting and then provided a link to the original.
