“Call the senator and call the senator,” Musk said in the massive amount of X’s posts.
I continued to tillard the bill that masks were sent to me, but House Republican In the convulsions on the other side of the Capitol, the senators were busy releasing even more detailed points of the legislative.
This time, given the senators want an opportunity to shape the bill, masks, who have just finished their four-month tenure as a special government employee to eradicate waste, fraud and abuse, may not have the same level of impact.
“I mean, if Elon was trying to give advice on how to go to the moon, I’ll listen,” Sen. Kevin Cramer said. “If he’s going to give me advice on how to raise billions of dollars from other billionaires, I’d listen.”
“But… he doesn’t govern, so to be honest, Elon, he’s not that big of a factor,” he continued. “I know he’s the charming kind of celebrity, but he’s not a big factor.”

Senator Roger MarshallR.-kan. said the president’s main message during the meeting is to “pass damn bills” with as few changes as possible. When asked if Trump seemed worried about the impact of masks on the fate of the bill, lawmakers said, “It’s definitely not.”

Congressional Republicans intend to use the budget adjustment process to skirt the Senate filibuster. That means there’s no need to hand the package to Senate Democrats. But they need at least 51 Senate Republicans to board.
The tinkering Senate shot of the settlement package comes after months of deliberation and negotiations at the home where Trump reached its peak with a package that threw his full support.
Some lawmakers want to increase spending cuts to $2 trillion in height, while others want a full rollback to pre-pandemic spending. Next, there are pockets of resistance that solidifies around the reductions in Medicaid and Green Energy Tax Credit clauses, burnt into the offerings of the house.
The green energy clause in the chopping block includes an electric vehicle tax credit. Speculation swirls that their proposed end-mise could be the driving force behind some of Musk’s rage over the bill.
“The brain senators see Elon’s comments about what they are. The CEO is worried about losing their business,” a Senate Republican source told Fox News Digital. “The only reason he’s making a fuss is that we’re removing the pork that will benefit his electric car company.”
Musk had sought deeper spending cuts until his new demand for the bill to be nuk. Currently, the House GOP offering sets targets for $1.5 trillion in spending reductions over the next decade, and coupled with expected growth, will help offset the roughly $4 trillion price to make the President’s first term tax cuts permanent.
R-Utah Sen. Mike Lee worked on some of the mask posts on Tuesday and appeared to agree with the tech billionaire’s position that the bill must go further to cut spending.
“Most of what he’s saying is he’d like to do more and be more aggressive in trying to deal with the debt and deficit issues,” Lee said.

Some lawmakers who found common ground in Musk’s early rage over the “big, beautiful bill” found a still common alliance on the second day of his rant.
Senator Land Poler-ky. repeated that he shared “skepticism” about Musk’s bill with Fox News Digital. He refused to say whether Congressional Republicans agreed to start from scratch, but noted that his main objection to the bill was a plan to increase the country’s debt limit by $5 trillion.
“My main goal is to say, take a debt cap, vote another vote, then vote for another bill, and then you need to reduce your spending,” he said. “But if spending cuts increased and debt caps were separate votes, I would be very open to supporting the bill.”
