Not the Senate. That takes 60 votes to end the democrat's filibuster, which is why the last dozen attempts by republicans to pass a clean CR with no changes to the current budget failed. (The last one yesterday[1] failed with 54 in favor 44 against. Three democrats voted with the republicans in that vote, still not enough.)
How is Musk involved in the current budget debacle aside from being "republican"? It's easy to blame stuff on him when he was running DOGE, but since his falling out with trump blaming every cut on Musk is a tired and expired meme.
Given how much he contributed to the election outcome it hardly seems tired to blame him for the consequences.
Plus he's on Twitter every week publicly discussing how much he uses the platform to put his thumb on the scale of discourse towards his personal beliefs.

In what world is he not involved?
The consequences of blocking a CR?

"He gave the federal government organizational cancer, but he left now so he's not to blame"
Americans will be living with Musk's legacy for decades.
Hopefully, fingers crossed

Actions speak to the character of a person. And some actions have long lasting consequences.
I'm okay with blaming him along with all of these Austin turds with podcasts.
It's not because he no longer works there that he doesn't have the exact same ideology. And now he's trying to push a Trump-like figure in the UK
