Mapping the Greg Abbott & Elon Musk Pay-to-Play Scheme

Greg Abbott's 'backscratching' with Elon Musk exposes GOP 'power trifecta'

The arrangement is the product of one-party rule.

"Texas state politics has been what I call a power trifecta. Just like on the national level in D.C., just like in my home state of Florida, your state house, your state senate, and your governor's mansion, all run by the GOP, all run by Republicans. And so if the state of affairs in the state of play is woefully, sadly miserable, there's only one party to blame, and that's the Republicans. There is no daylight between Greg Abbott and the billionaires", said Katie Phang - Raw Story
