Speaker of the United State House of Representative, a member of the Republican Party Mike Johnson disagreed with Musk’s summation of “The One Big Beautiful Bill” being a wasteful spending, claimed he is very disappointed in the Tech billionaire for calling Trump’s bill a “disgusting abomination” .
Johnson applauded the work done by Musk at Department of Government Efficiency –DOGE– for identifying wasteful spending by the Federal Government, however he insisted that the Tesla CEO is wrong about Trump’s bill, says two of the governmental achievement the bill offered are “massive tax cut and massive reduction in spending.”
Musk had equally expressed disappointment over Congress for voting for the bill in a post on Tuesday stating: I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.
He added that the bill “will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt,” while he opined that the Congress will bankrupt Americans.
However the Speaker disagreed with Musk: “I count Elon Musk as a good friend, and Congressional Republicans appreciate everything he has done to put a spotlight on waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
“Now that DOGE has identified wasteful spending, it is being quantified by the Administration, and codified by Congress via the rescissions process and appropriations process.
“With all due respect, Elon is simply wrong about the One Big Beautiful Bill.
“Our legislation comprehensively delivers on every major campaign promise and the America First agenda, while ALSO securing historic savings of more than $1.6 TRILLION.
“It’s going to keep our borders secure, provide historic tax relief for hardworking Americans, unleash American energy dominance, reduce spending, and restore peace through strength.
“Congress is working hard to get this to President Trump’s desk by July 4th so we can deliver on the mandate the American people gave us.” He added
