The Spin

This reckless spending bill adds over $3 trillion to the deficit while Republicans who campaigned on fiscal responsibility completely abandon their promises. The legislation represents everything wrong with Washington's uniparty system that prioritizes special interests over taxpayers. Time for a new political party that actually represents the people instead of this "Porky Pig Party" that's bankrupting America.

The Hill The New York Times

Musk's hypocrisy is staggering - he's received more government subsidies than anyone in history yet attacks a bill that boosts defense and border security while cutting wasteful programs. His companies depend entirely on federal contracts and subsidies, so his threats to primary Republicans are just empty posturing from someone who'd be nothing without taxpayer support.
