Reference Message Network reported on June 7th according to a report by the American Axios News website on June 5th, Musk has become an abandoned child of the Republican Party after making "absurd" attacks on Trump.

The report said that after Musk claimed that Trump's name "appeared in the Epstein sex trafficking case documents" and even called for his impeachment, Congressional Republicans publicly criticized Musk in an unprecedented manner.

For someone who had just weeks, or even days ago, exerted tremendous influence on Republican members of Congress, this will be no different from a total disgrace.

Representative Greg Murphy of North Carolina Republican Party commented on Musk's remarks, saying, "This is extremely childish, absurd. Stop talking nonsense."

Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey Republican Party said, "Musk was not elected by voters, and honestly, there are many people in both parties who simply do not like him."

The report believes that since Musk got involved in politics, his $420 billion assets and the ability to invest millions of dollars in any Republican primary election have been something like the Sword of Damocles over the heads of Congressional Republicans.

However, Republican lawmakers privately stated that now that Trump and Musk have become sworn enemies, compared with Musk's campaign funds, they are more concerned about losing Trump's support.

The report cited a Republican congressman commenting on the impact of the "breakup incident" on the election, saying, "I would rather have Trump support me."

Another congressman said, "Compared to the weight of Trump supporting us in a primary election, Musk opposing us in a primary election is worth 100 times less." The congressman claimed, "Musk can burn $5 million in a primary election, but if Trump says 'this is the candidate the Republican Party should support for re-election,' then the $5 million would be wasted."

Even critics of Trump's "Great and Beautiful Bill" believe that Musk's transformation of rational debate into personal attacks is undermining the substantive arguments that opponents of the bill have been trying to establish to oppose the legislation. (Compiled/曹 Weiguo)
