GOP senators are “terrified” over the prospect of facing primary challengers funded by Elon Musk .

Musk warned GOP lawmakers in December that he was compiling a “naughty list” of members who buck Trump ’s agenda.

Musk pledged shortly after Election Day that his political action committee would “play a significant role in primaries”.

Trump has called for a primary challenge against then-Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) in 2020 after Thune vowed to oppose an effort to object to the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory.

Republican senators took a more aggressive stance against Trump 's first nominee to head the Justice Department , Matt Gaetz .
