Elon Musk is fast becoming a central player in Trump’s interim cabinet and looking to his X platform for users to weigh in on the future of the GOP.
The Tesla CEO stepped up his involvement on Sunday by asking his 204 million followers on X who should be the new Senate Majority Leader.
Since Republicans have recaptured a 53-seat majority in the Senate, current Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will lose his gavel to the opposition when the new Congress is sworn in on January 3, 2025.
And since Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, 82, took himself out of the running for the role in February, three main contenders have emerged as a replacement to the longtime GOP leader.
They include Rick Scott from Florida, John Thune from South Dakota and John Cornyn from Texas.
In Musk’s poll on X, Scott was far and away the favorite to become the next majority leader, with 66 percent of votes by X users.
