Republican Kentucky Senator Rand Paul on Friday hinted that he may jump into the race to become the next Senate GOP leader, and Elon Musk was quick to support the idea.
Paul used X to tease his potential bid for the position which - if the GOP takes back the upper chamber in November - could graduate from Minority Leader to Majority Leader.
Rand Paul amid his 10 1/2 hour filibuster in 2015 Among the general public, Paul is probably best known as Capitol Hill's chief tormentor of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Paul says the evidence indicates the virus emerged from China's Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Paul has pointedly said that Fauci committed perjury in congressional hearings and that he belongs in jail "Without question." Musk is neither the only nor the first noteworthy figure to back Paul for party leader.

Kennedy, Jr voiced his support: In a testament to the extent to which the establishment recoils at the libertarian-minded Paul, mainstream media outlets - which have been quick to report on other developments in the majority leader race - pretended not to notice that Paul had signaled his interest in the job.
