Elon Musk<\/strong> may have apologized<\/a> for the things he said about Donald Trump<\/strong> when he was angry, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s changed his mind about the \u201cbig, beautiful\u201d spending bill. In fact, he\u2019s gone from calling it a \u201cdisgusting abomination<\/a>\u201d to declaring it should effectively spell the end of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n As GOP senators attempted to drag the legislation across the finish line on Monday, the richest man in the world took to X to tell<\/a> his followers: \u201cIt is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country \u2013 the PORKY PIG PARTY!! Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.\u201d As a reminder, Musk shelled out nearly $300 million to get Trump, the leader of the Republican Party, elected (and then spent four months in Washington gutting the federal workforce). How much will he drop on a TBD candidate for a TBD party? That\u2019s unclear at this time.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Musk\u2019s decision to share his true feelings about Trump\u2019s spending bill led to a market-moving meltdown in which he and the president traded barbs over several days. Among other things, Musk claimed<\/a>, \u201cWithout me, Trump would have lost the election,\u201d and appeared to back a call for Trump to be impeached and removed from office<\/a>; he also suggested<\/a> Trump was named in the \u201cEpstein files,\u201d though later deleted the allegation. For his part, Trump threatened to sell his Tesla<\/a> and reportedly called Musk a \u201cbig-time drug addict<\/a>.\u201d (Musk has insisted<\/a> he is not on drugs.)<\/p>\n Musk is not the only one who thinks Trump\u2019s signature second-term legislation sucks. In addition to concerned voters warning that it will lead to people dying, one Republican called it \u201cpolitical suicide<\/a>,\u201d and another trashed<\/a> Trump\u2019s advisers for having \u201cno insight into how these provider tax cuts are going to be absorbed without harming people on Medicare.\u201d At least one GOP lawmaker said if she had fully known what was in the bill, she wouldn\u2019t have voted for it. (Next time, she\u2019ll do the assigned reading.)<\/p>\n GOP lawmaker claims Medicaid recipients are criminals and\/or lazy<\/strong><\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Border czar in a zen place re: man allegedly dying in ICE custody<\/strong><\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Elsewhere!<\/strong><\/p>\n White House urges GOP to \u201cstay tough\u201d as Senate debates amendments to Trump\u2019s bill<\/strong><\/p>\n The Washington Post<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Richest Americans will save nearly $100,000 a year from tax bill, research says<\/strong><\/p>\n The Guardian<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n On Trump\u2019s tax bill, GOP tries this one new accounting trick<\/strong><\/p>\n The Washington Post<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Trump administration sues Los Angeles over its sanctuary city policies<\/strong><\/p>\n NBC News \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n New docs get schooled in old diseases as vax rates fall<\/strong><\/p>\n Axios<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Trainwreck: Poop Cruise<\/em> Captivates an Emotionally Exhausted America<\/strong><\/p>\n Vanity Fair<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n Are You a Dior, or Are You a Bezos?<\/strong><\/p>\n Vanity Fair<\/em> \u2022 Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nX content<\/h4>\n
