Got really burnt out on things in May. I'll try to keep up again.
Elon Musk says he's "disappointed" by Trump's "big, beautiful bill" and what it means for DOGE
Quote:Elon Musk says he is "disappointed" by the price tag of the domestic policy bill passed by Republicans in the House last week and heavily backed by President Trump. The billionaire who recently stepped back from running the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, made the remark during an exclusive broadcast interview with "CBS Sunday Morning."
"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 said.
Musk's comments appear to put him at odds with Mr. Trump, who has championed the massive spending package. The legislation — which still needs to pass the Senate — would extend Mr. Trump's signature 2017 tax cuts, boost border security spending, impose work requirements on Medicaid and roll back clean energy tax credits.
The tax provisions of the package, titled the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" after Mr. Trump's name for the bill, would increase the deficit by $3.8 trillion by 2034, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
"I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful," Musk told CBS News, "but I don't know if it can be both. My personal opinion."
Trump says he and Musk 'had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore' : NPR
Quote:President Trump on Thursday said he was surprised that his former adviser Elon Musk is scorching the Republican megabill advancing most of Trump's biggest domestic policy priorities, but said he thought Musk was wrong and conflicted in his criticism.
"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
"He's worn that hat, 'Trump was right about everything' -- and I am right about the great big, beautiful, bill," Trump said.
Social media fighting
Elon Musk and Donald Trump take to their respective social media platforms to bitch about each other:
Donald Trump on Truth Social Wrote:Elon was “wearing thin,” I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!
Elon Musk on Twitter Wrote:Time to drop the really big bomb:
@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.
Have a nice day, DJT!
That's all I can get on this one right now this is honestly really triggering. It's like a nightmare about your parents fighting except it's your entire country
