Musk Rips Candidate In GOP Senate Leadership Battle: ‘Top Choice of Democrats’

Billionaire Elon Musk has jumped into the fray amid the ongoing battle over who will be the next Senate Majority Leader candidate as Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) prepares to retire.

Senators Rick Scott (R-FL), John Cornyn (R-TX), and John Thune (R-SD) are competing against each other in the three-way contest for the top spot.

According to the AP, Cornyn was McConnell’s second-in-command before Thune, who is now in that role. While Scott has long been a Trump supporter, Thune and Cornyn have both been characterized as “more establishment Republicans, top McConnell allies, and sometimes critics of Trump.”

“(Republican) Senator Thune is the top choice of Democrats 🤣🤣,” Musk wrote, mocking Thune.

About an hour later, Musk posted, “Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader!!

Last February, McConnell declared that he would step down as leader but would remain in the Senate until the end of his 2027 term.

“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is knowing when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” McConnell remarked at the time. Therefore, I’m here today to inform you that this will be my final term as Senate Republican leader.

On November 13, a secret ballot will be used to select a new leader.

Several senators and staffers say that Thune, Cornyn, and their friends have been calling members nonstop to get support before next week’s election to replace Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who is leaving his job as Senate GOP Leader, The Hill reported.
