‘If it’s the last thing I do’: Elon Musk promises to fund campaigns against Republicans who vote for Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful’ bill
Musk vows to help unseat Republicans who vote for ‘big beautiful bill’
- Elon Musk has pledged to financially support primary challengers against Republican lawmakers who vote for a significant bill backed by Donald Trump.
- Musk opposes the legislation, dubbed the "big, beautiful bill," citing concerns over insufficient spending cuts and projections of adding $3.3 trillion to the national debt.
- The controversial bill aims to extend 2017 tax cuts, fund a surge in mass deportation measures including 10,000 new ICE agents, and impose work requirements on Medicaid and food stamp programs.
- Musk's opposition reignites a past feud with Donald Trump, which previously included personal attacks and allegations related to the "Epstein Files."
- Despite Musk's efforts and some Republican dissent, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership are pushing the bill forward, expected to pass via budget reconciliation.
