'He's not living in reality': Fox News reports GOP lawmakers lashing out at Trump and Musk (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/he-s-not-living-in-reality-fox-news-reports-gop-lawmakers-lashing-out-at-trump-and-musk/ar-AA1waPbI?ocid=winp2fptaskbar&cvid=6a95b6c0c87e4114d9c9d1cfa8a06a19&ei=8#)

Writing on X, Fox News reporter Liz Elkind reveals that there is "a LOT of frustration at Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy from rank-and-file House Rs this morning" after the two men publicly killed the bipartisan deal.

"I'll have nothing to do with them after watching them publicly trash the speaker," said one, while another Republican lawmaker accused them of "freelancing and shooting off the hip" to kill the bill without understanding key provisions that they had criticized.

What's more, one unnamed House Republican even expressed frustration with President-elect Donald Trump for going along with Musk.

"Trump doesn’t understand Congress," this member said. "He wants all GOP wins and no concessions to Dems. The Senate and WH are still run by Dems. He’s not living in reality."
