MTG Is Pushing For Elon Musk To Be Speaker Of The House—And Yes, It Could Happen

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene amplified Rand Paul's call for Musk to take over as Speaker of the House after Musk scuttled a bipartisan government funding deal.

Far-right MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is all in for billionaire tech leader Elon Musk to become Speaker of the House, which is not out of the realm of possibility.

Even though every House Speaker has been a member of the U.S. House thus far, the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly have a provision in place stating they must be an incumbent House member.


GOP Kentucky junior Senator Rand Paul mentioned this in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

"The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress," he wrote earlier this morning.

Paul suggested Musk unseat GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson, who was slammed by Republicans for the handling of his now-dead government spending bill.

The bill Johnson negotiated with colleagues across the aisle would have extended government funding through March 14, a couple of months into President-elect Trump's administration.

"Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk," wrote Paul, reminding his party's peers that "nothing’s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka ‘uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin’ minds)"


MTG, who filed a motion to oust Johnson in March, echoed Paul's endorsement of Musk.

"I'd be open to supporting @elonmusk for Speaker of the House. DOGE can only truly be accomplished by reigning in Congress to enact real government efficiency," said Greene, referring to Trump's proposed Department of Government Efficiency commission to be led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

She added:

"The establishment needs to be shattered just like it was yesterday. This could be the way."

She followed up with another post asking followers:

"Would you support @elonmusk for Speaker of the House?"

She continued:

"The House controls policy and appropriations (spending) and can cut programs, departments, agencies, as well as make new laws like term limits and pass a balanced budget amendment."
"DOGE could become the legislative branch."

Her tweet was connected to a poll, which currently shows 82% in favor of the proposition.

Those who were in favor expressed support.




Others were indifferent as the businessman was busying himself with multiple other ventures.




MTG received over 70,000 votes on her post as of this writing.

Republicans' support for Musk as Speaker came after the Tesla CEO led the charge to stop Johnson's bipartisan funding bill on Wednesday. He posted over 100 tweets in a single day asking followers to call their representatives.

Musk, who never held a political position, slammed the bill, calling it "criminal." He also warned that any member of the House or Senate voting for the "outrageous spending bill" should be voted out in two years.

His criticism of the bill prompted Trump to urge Congress to ditch the bipartisan bill in favor of one with fewer provisions that would need to be passed by the end of the week.

The clock is ticking as the U.S. faces the increased likelihood of a government shutdown by Saturday.

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.
