Lawmakers react to Musk criticism of ‘big, beautiful bill'
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Elon Musk is rallying the troops online to kill the president's big, beautiful bill. In his latest post on X, he encouraged voters to call their Republican senators to object. Elon Musk's latest posts online have caught many Republicans off guard but are providing cover for Republicans skeptical of the plan. Despite the divide Republican leadership remains determined to pass the bill. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) attempted to brush off criticism from Musk. 'We were texting one another happy texts on Monday and then yesterday, 24 hours later, he does a 180 and opposed the bill,' said Johnson. Days after leaving the Trump White House, Musk took to X to bash the president's tax and spending plan writing, 'This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.' Democrats on a mission to tank the president's big, beautiful bill are welcoming the unlikely ally. 'We're happy to have him on our side now,' said Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.). However, opposition to the plan is about all Musk and Democrats have in common. 'He's not my cup of tea, to put it mildly. But Republicans are already listening to him,' said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). AT A WEDNESDAY PRESS CONFERENCE SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER SAID REPUBLICANS CAN'T IGNORE THE DAMAGE THE BILL WILL CAUSE. A new estimate from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office finds as many as 10.9 million Americans would lose their health insurance under the current plan and while the package cuts taxes by $3.75 trillion it would balloon the federal deficit by more than $2 trillion over the next decade. 'The more you look at the bill, at the House bill, the worse it gets,' said Schumer. Fiscal hawks like Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, who voted against the package in the House, say Musk is right. 'He started to figure out these guys aren't serious about cutting spending,' said Massie. Senators plan to meet with President Trump at the White House Wednesday to discuss changes to the bill.

"Caught the president by surprise": Fox News says Trump is "furious" with Elon Musk
President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk's apparent relationship troubles don't seem to likely to blow over anytime soon. Musk has ripped Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' on X, calling it a 'disgusting abomination' on Tuesday. Trump and his administration have been uncharacteristically quiet on the subject, but on Wednesday morning's edition of "Fox & Friends," co-host Brian Kilmeade said there was anger behind the scenes: 'I think the Elon Musk thing really caught the president by surprise and I hear he is furious.' Kilmeade went on to say that Trump's public silence is 'smart,' arguing the president's focus should remain on pushing the bill forward and getting it passed by the Senate. 'Don't worry about it,' Kilmeade said. The strife appears to extend beyond the president, however. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., shared with reporters Wednesday that his calls to Musk have gone unanswered and unreturned. "I called Elon last night and he didn't answer. I hope he calls me back today,' the speaker said. Johnson added that he's spoken to Trump, noting that the president is 'not delighted that Elon did a 180 on that.' The speaker suggested that Musk's discontent with the House-passed bill comes from language that would terminate electric vehicle tax credits, an issue that obviously matters to the Tesla CEO. Axios reported that Tesla has spent at least $240,000 lobbying for the electric vehicle credits and that Musk even spent time personally advocating for it. Publicly, Musk has criticized the bill for expanding the federal deficit. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill's spending cuts would be more than offset by the inclusion of tax cuts that disproportionately aid the wealthy, adding more than $2.4 trillion to the Johnson's criticism, other GOP legislators have backed Musk. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah showed their support for Musk's criticism of the bill in posts on Musk's social platform, X. Paul responded on X, saying: 'I agree with can and must do better.' 'The Senate must make this bill better,' Lee responded on X. Musk's tirade on X continued into the night on Tuesday as he eventually said a continued increase in the country's debt would 'drive America into debt slavery!'
