Musk Slams Trump Bill as 'Abomination,' White House Responds

Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, responded to Elon Musk's scathing criticism of the Trump agenda bill. Musk, in a post on X, called the bill a "disgusting abomination," expressing outrage over its price tag and content. Leavitt, during a press briefing, countered that President Trump is already aware of Musk's position and that it wouldn't change the president's stance on the bill. "The president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn’t change the president’s opinion," Leavitt stated. Musk's criticism has caused a stir within Republican circles, highlighting the divisions within the party regarding the bill's substantial cost and potential impact. The incident underscores the ongoing tension between the White House and some prominent figures outside of the administration, raising questions about the future of the bill and the potential for further disagreements.
