38 republicans vote against 

was there even one pundit/analyst/talking-head that predicted Musk's ascendancy?

I think not.

WTF

My only desire is for all of us to make it through the next four years with our mental health intact. We will witness some serious siht going down that can be downright detrimental to our mental health. I’m not kidding. And we can all blame the jackasses who voted for this madness. I hate these people.
