Trump punts on Musk criticism of ‘big beautiful bill’ by Alex Gangitano - 05/28/25 1:17 PM ET President Trump on Wednesday punted on a question about tech billionaire Elon Musk’s criticism of the “big, beautiful bill” packed with the president’s legislative priorities the House passed last week. Musk, who spearheaded the cost-cutting efforts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said in an interview on “CBS Sunday Morning that he was “disappointed” in the spending bill because “it undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.” Trump was asked in the Oval Office about his reaction to Musk and replied, “Well, our reaction’s a lot of things” before pivoting to the votes needed to get the bill out of Congress. “Number one, we have to get a lot of votes, we can’t be cutting — we need to get a lot of support and we have a lot of support,” he said. “We had to get it through the House, the House was, we had no Democrats. You know, if it was up to the Democrats, they’ll take the 65 percent increase.” The bill, which increases the debt limit by $4 trillion, is now in the Senate’s hands after it passed the House on Thursday following a series of last-minute negotiations and changes.

早说了马斯克政治上太幼稚，纯粹被川普玩了。。
最基本的体面还是有的，毕竟小马真金白银，还真下功夫改twitter算法帮他胜选过的啊
川普的bill把财政赤字增加了3.8trillion，消减education，nutrition和其他民生项目，增加军费和富豪tax cut。马斯克到处得罪人，裁员韭菜，根本就是杯水车薪
doge了半天，doge了个寂寞
这事还不算完 川皇必会把场子找回来 马斯克瑟瑟发抖吧
