A Dec. 18 X post, opens new tab by Musk saying, “How can this be called a ‘continuing resolution’ if it includes a 40% pay increase for Congress?” amplified the false narrative.

The bill would have ended a longtime pay freeze, allowing lawmakers to be eligible for a 3.8% salary increase in January, equal to $6,600.

Billy Smart would be proud of there double act.
