A few days after Republicans secured a majority in the Senate, Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk has endorsed Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) to be the next Senate Majority Leader.
Posting on his X, Musk wrote: “Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader!”
With Sen. Mitch McConnell stepping down, rumors have swirled about potential replacements for his Majority leader position. Republican Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. John Thune (R-SD), and Scott have been rumored as potential replacements.
Musk now joins Republican senators Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in calling for Scott to take over as Majority leader.
Meanwhile, The Hill reported that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has backed Cornyn for the position, while while Sens. Mike Rounds (R-SD) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) were supporting Thune.
