Elon Musk just dropped a political bombshell 💣 on his social media platform X, calling Trump's proposed tax and spending bill a "disgusting abomination" that could balloon the US deficit. The Tesla CEO didn't hold back: "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill… Shame on those who voted for it."
💰 What's in the Bill?
The controversial legislation aims to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts while boosting military spending and border security. But here's the kicker: analysts say it could add $3.8 TRILLION to the national debt! 📈
⚖️ GOP Divided
Musk's rant found allies among Republican deficit hawks 🦅 like Senators Mike Lee and Ron Johnson. With a slim 53-47 Senate majority, Republicans can only afford to lose 3 votes. Key sticking points? Protecting Medicaid and deciding whether to make corporate tax breaks permanent.
⏳ Race Against Time
Lawmakers are scrambling to meet a July 4 deadline 🎆, but Senator Johnson predicts they'll miss it. Meanwhile, the White House remains unfazed, with spokesperson Karoline Leavitt calling it "one big, beautiful bill" despite Musk's criticism.
Will this high-stakes political drama end in fireworks or a government fizzle? 🔥 Stay tuned as the Senate showdown unfolds!
