Why doesn't Musk like Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill'?
👉 Follow Trump100 on your podcast app 👈
It's day 135 of Donald Trump's second term, and our US correspondents Mark Stone and Martha Kelner discuss Elon Musk's exit from his Department of Government Efficiency role last week, and his harsh criticism of Trump's "big beautiful" spending bill in a furious X post on Tuesday.
Plus, Hamas and Israel have reacted to Mark's Monday interview with former State Department spokesman Matt Miller, who said that "without a doubt" war crimes had been committed in Gaza by Israel, which is in stark contrast to what he said in office.

Met singers' union gets 5% increase partly funded by $5M appropriation from New York state
The Metropolitan Opera and the union for its soloists and chorus announced a one-year agreement Friday on a contract. The agreement calls for a 2.5% wage increase plus an additional temporary 2.5% hike that followed the labor group's assistance in securing a $5 million appropriation in New York state's budget. The deal between the Met and the American Guild of Musical Artists starts Aug. 1 and runs through July 31, 2026. It must be ratified by the union. AGMA also represents dancers, full-time actors, stage managers, stage directors and choreographers. The Met said AGMA helped lobby the state government for the appropriation, and the additional 2.5% rise will sunset when the deal expires. Two other major Met union deals expire July 31, with Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians, which represents the orchestra, and Local One of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which represents stagehands.
