Trump Responds to Musk's Criticism of the "Big and Beautiful" Bill
Early this morning (July 1) Eastern Time in the United States, US President Trump posted on his social platform "Truth Social" to respond to the criticism of the "big and beautiful" tax - cut and spending bill he strongly promoted by US entrepreneur Elon Musk. Trump said in the post, "Elon Musk knew long before he strongly supported my presidential campaign that I strongly oppose the 'electric vehicle mandate'. This is ridiculous, and it has always been a major part of my campaign. Electric vehicles are okay, but no one should be forced to own one. Elon may have received far more subsidies than anyone in history. Without subsidies, Elon might have to close his business and go back to his hometown in South Africa. No more rocket launches, satellites, or electric vehicle production, and our country would save a lot of money. Maybe we should let the Government Efficiency Department take a good look? This could save a fortune!"
