Tuberville questions Musk's ability to fund primary challengers

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) claimed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk would “need a lot of money” to follow through with his threat about making the majority of GOP senators lose their next primary.

Musk has long complained that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will stifle growth for his electric car company and contribute to the national debt. As a former adviser to President Donald Trump, Musk has advocated against the bill, pledging to help challenge “every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history.”
