Of course the Senate was going to confirm him.

Of course he was destined to disappoint.

But not confirming a fellow Senator (and among the least outrageously horrible of Trump's nominees) would have looked like bad faith and a rejection of the confirmation process.

Democrats have held together pretty well as to the other nominees, I think.

And are speaking out strongly against Musk who has more power than anyone else even though never subjected to a confirmation hearing or vote.
