Elon Musk backed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Monday, as the top Republican in the House attempts to secure support ahead of Friday’s Speaker vote.
The tech mogul’s vote of confidence followed President-elect Trump’s “Complete & Total” endorsement of Johnson earlier in the day.
“I feel the same way!” Musk wrote in a post on his social platform X. “You have my full support.”
Trump’s and Musk’s backing could be key as Johnson seeks to hold onto his Speakership with a narrow majority.
Johnson’s control of the House was thrown into question after a rocky, last-minute push to pass government funding earlier this month.
His initial end-of-year funding package was in part torpedoed by Musk, who launched a daylong crusade against the deal on X, at times sharing or posting misinformation about the bill.
After Trump also came out against the bill, Johnson scrambled to piece together a new deal to avert a government shutdown that appeased the president-elect and the billionaire, who has become one of Trump’s closest allies.
