Does Elon Musk Want A Shutdown?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After making some big changes to their budget, House Republicans pass a resolution, without Democratic support. Grant breaks down what's in it and how a government shutdown could still easily happen. Plus, some new reporting from Wired Magazine shows that a shutdown might have been Elon's plan all along even if it would be bad for Trump.
