This is an abuse of power on the par
t of a rich man. Trump was happy when it worked for him. Now not so much.
Trumps bill is cruel but musk doesnt think its cruel enough.
There are no good guys in this story.

Will musk follow thru on his threats ? His credibility is not great nd its likely he will lose interest over the next year. His America party looks to be a pipe dream as well.
It would be easier if trump just gave him the perks that musk paid for.

 
Elon is promising to create a new political party if the big beautiful bill becomes law.
 
Musk is upset his subsidies are being cut. I do support that but there is a ton of addition debt vehicles to replace it.

I did note months ago this would happen.

Depriving Illegals of entitlements is "Cruel"?

You've got it backwards.

Cutting MEDICAID to 11 million needy American citizens, while handing $2 trillion in tax cuts out of the $4 trillion tax cut expense, to the very elite and wealthiest billionaires, is cruel.

The "cuts" to Medicaid are directed at illegals who shouldn't be on it in the first place, and able-bodied layabouts.

Keeping the current tax rates in place isn't "handing" anyone anything that isn't theirs to begin with.

You sure about that? The cuts to Medicaid involve reasonable work requirements and only making it available to people that are lawfully in the US.

I've defied everyone bemoaning the "cuts" to Medicaid to show us where less is being spent next year than last year.

So far, crickets.
 
Depriving anyone of healthcare is cruel. And dumb

So the US should allow anyone from around the world to get Medicaid? That is essentially what we did when we allowed anyone to walk across the border under Biden. That isn't a sustainable model for any country in the world.

There was a time when those subsidies were not warranted in our nation. At least to degrees. Musk does bring positives though. He may want more. We can now as an example get into low earth orbit because of him much cheaper. What we can do in many other enterprises in low earth orbit is slowly coming online. We compete with oppressive nations who do it cheaper from their ways with this. This means China.
 
Musk knew from the start that Trump was against EV tax incentives and was going to look backward toward supporting and subsidizing the fossil fuel industry at the expense of clean energy.

So, not only did Musk destroy his reputation working for Trump, he also undercut his very own industry.

Not very bright of him, I would say.

Disagree. Those tax cuts were intentionally not made permanent when inacted, while the Corporate tax cuts were made permanent. These tax cuts were never meant to be extended beyond their expiration, by the way they wrote the tax cut and calculated future projected budget deficits.

The cuts to MEDICAID is 100 % more than what is spent on any illegal here on MEDICAID, which is none or near none with few, if any, exceptions.

The Trillion dollar cut to MEDICAID affects legal Americans...and American citizens the most. The bill has no limit to just cutting monies to so called illegals.

Tesla EV credits are a rounding error in Musk's growing world dominating empire
