The world’s richest man had some harsh words for Donald Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful” bill on Saturday.

Elon Musk worked with Trump for months after the election, only to have a spectacular blow-up after his exit from the White House. That public fight began due to Musk’s criticism of Trump’s signature bill.

Musk appeared to make up with Trump, and started holding his tongue more. It has been weeks since reporters have had anything to say about Musk criticizing Trump or his legislation.

    They’re still worth some because it shows MAGA is starting to fracture. Even die hards like MTG are now against the bill. You know, after they passed it in the house without reading it.

      I can’t believe I’m playing defense for MTG but, voting for the bill in the House was a low risk action because there was absolute certainty that there would have to be back and forth with the Senate. The vote in the house was basically a vote to get the process started in the Senate.

      The bill as a whole though is still absolute shit stuffed with one horror after another. I do hold everyone who voted for it responsible for that. I just don’t think it’s a big deal that she voted for some specific aspects that she later opposed. That’s just how the process of Omnibus bills works.

          Are you referring to the three ancient Democratic House members that died in office? It does seem a little vindictive to blame them, but I guess it wouldn’t be unreasonable. It might make more sense to blame the Democratic voters who keep renominating these decrepit fucks.
