So Musk was literally like “no, don’t give Democrats (the party I pretended to support for years) any wins, you need to not negotiate” and then congress just rolled with that.

And now they are just gonna do that while they control congress for at least 2 years because Musk has no idea how government is different from him running a business

I agree. If the republican party controls the white house and both chambers of Congress, they don’t need to negotiate with democrats to pass a budget. So there’s absolutely no reason to have a government shutdown. Unless you like stiffing government employees, I guess.
