The Republican scam has finally been exposed…
“I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” Musk told CBS.
“I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both,” he added.
Musk has publicly stepped back from the administration in recent weeks, supposedly to focus on his flailing companies. Many observers have speculated that he’s distancing himself in an effort to salvage his destroyed reputation and mitigate the damage inflicted on Tesla and SpaceX by widespread public backlash.
For once, Musk is right. Trump’s bill, which has passed the House but not the Senate, is an unadulterated disaster. Not only does it skyrocket the debt by handing out massive tax cuts to the rich and ballooning the Pentagon’s budget to over $1 trillion, it hurts average Americans in countless ways.
To pay for those unneeded tax cuts, Republicans are slashing Medicaid. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that roughly 8 million Americans will lose health care coverage over the next ten years as a result of the legislation.
Even with those brutal cuts, the CBO estimates that the bill will add $3.8 trillion to the deficit, totally dispelling the lie that Republicans care about the national debt. The truth is that they use it as a political talking point to attack Democrats and then turn around and ignore their own hysterical warnings.
