Some House Republicans are privately furious with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy after the government shutdown talks fall apart.

A bipartisan deal on government funding is at risk due to the involvement of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in congressional talks, according to some House Republicans who are privately upset about the situation.

Several GOP lawmakers, granted anonymity, expressed frustration or belief that the pair's involvement worsened long-standing weaknesses within the House Republican Conference.

"The House Republican criticized Musk and Vivek for jumping in at the 11th hour and not handling the matter directly with the speaker. He also accused them of being more interested in clicks and attention than getting the job done. The Republican stated that he would not work with them after witnessing them publicly attack the speaker."

A second GOP lawmaker stated that Elon and Vivek's freelancing and off-the-cuff approach without coordination with President-elect Trump could potentially undermine the legitimacy of the 47th President of the United States.

A third lawmaker accused Ramaswamy of distorting facts.

They stated that he didn't read the entire continuing resolution and the majority of what he was talking about was misinformation.

Mike Johnson, R-La., was preparing to cast a vote on a bipartisan 1,547-page agreement that would maintain current government funding until March 14, which is referred to as a continuing resolution (CR).

The objective was to grant congressional negotiators additional time to reach a consensus on funding the government for the rest of FY 2025, while simultaneously delaying the conflict until the Republicans hold power in the House, Senate, and White House.

GOP hardliners were enraged by the inclusion of unrelated measures and policy riders in the bill at the last minute.

The bill averted a partial government shutdown through March 14 and included provisions on health care and ethanol fuel, as well as more than $100 billion in disaster aid funding, measures to fund the rebuilding of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, and the first pay raise for lawmakers since 2009.

Soon after, Musk and Ramaswamy joined the opposition, with Musk threatening to support primary challengers to Republicans who backed the CR.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., declared the bill dead less than 24 hours after its release.

Democratic support for House GOP leaders' plan B remains uncertain.

A House Republican who spoke with Planet Chronicle Digital stated that Musk influenced weak members who lacked direction until he tweeted.

They stated that he was merely emphasizing poor governance and, in turn, a weak legislative branch.

Trump threatened to primary Republicans who supported a "clean" CR without an increase of the debt limit, which expires January 2025.

The months-long and politically brutal talks that normally accompany a debt limit increase or suspension were disrupted by the issue on Wednesday night.

One Republican responded angrily to the threat: "Trump's threat to 'primary' us diminishes his support among many of us. I have no desire to be associated with him."
