A transcript ofthe videofollows:
“Let me be clear: I don't want a government shutdown. And that's why I'd like to vote on a bill to keep the government open for 30 days while we have a bipartisan negotiation. But I will not support this Republican House bill that simply gives Elon Musk more fuel and more tools to dismantle big parts of the federal government in order to rig it for people like himself and the very rich.
So I will vote no on that continuing resolution. I will vote no on cloture. We need to make sure that we pass a bill that represents the best of the American people, not a one-sided sham for Elon Musk.”
