Don't ask GOP senators about their texts with Elon Musk
Briefly

This week, several Republican senators acquired Elon Musk's cell phone number during a lunch meeting, leading to speculation about their potential communication with him. While Senator Thom Tillis confirmed he has Musk's number but hasn't used it, other senators were evasive, indicating the sensitive nature of this connection. Musk's influence appears to extend significantly, affecting federal operations without congressional input, making his direct contact a valuable asset for the senators amidst ongoing discussions regarding the impact of cryptocurrencies like DOGE.
Having the power to call up Musk is a precious commodity in the age of DOGE, with the promise of influencing the man who's been working with a team of lieutenants to shutter whole agencies.
I haven't texted with him. I don't have a need to do that... if DOGE is going into any areas where we're looking at potential job impacts... I know I can give him a call.
I'm not gonna answer that question, okay? What's your next one? I don't think it's anyone's business.
I'm not getting into all that. If you have a policy question, I'm happy to answer that.
