Boner Candidate #2: SORRY CANCER KIDS. ELON DOESEN’T THINK YOU DESERVE FUNDING
Elon Musk and Donald Trump helped protest a bill to failure. The bill would’ve helped push $190 million towards pediatric cancer research. Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov said, “The richest man in the world wanted this, Elon Musk did, and programs that came out of it– what’s your problem with a bipartisan cancer research program for $190 million? A drop in the bucket of what this is. Those are the kinds of things that came out of this, and the reason that people are saying that [Musk] is the unelected president, not only because of the hundreds of millions of dollars that he paid to get Donald Trump elected, is that Donald Trump wasn’t kicking up a fuss about the bill before Elon Musk got a bee in his bonnet.”
