Elon Musk, the billionaire co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency, suggested he could oppose Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) for speaker of the House — moments after promising "full support" for the Republican lawmaker.
In a post on the X social media platform, Johnson thanked President-elect Donald Trump for his "Complete & Total endorsement."
"Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN," Trump wrote in support of Johnson.
"I feel the same way!" Musk replied. "You have my full support."

But less than an hour later, the billionaire changed his tune when Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said he would not support Johnson despite Trump's endorsement.
Massie argued Trump's "endorsement of Mike Johnson is going to work out about as well as his endorsement of Speaker Paul Ryan."
"You might be right, but let's see how it goes," Musk agreed.
