Elon Musk says he is "disappointed" with Trump's domestic policy bill

WASHINGTON - President Elon Musk and President Donald Trump broke in the House’s well-received domestic policy bill and said in a new interview that he was “disappointed” that the legislation would increase the federal deficit.

"Frankly, I'm disappointed to see a large spending bill that increases the budget deficit, not just reduces it and undermines the work the Governor's team is doing," Musk told CBS.

Musk's public break has arrived as Republicans' bill travels to the Senate, and several senators have also criticized the legislation to increase the deficit. The legislative package covers many of Trump's priorities, and he urged Congress to send the bill to his desk for signature "as soon as possible."

The tech tycoon's speech in the interview also came as he suggested he would withdraw from government positions to refocus the private sector. Musk said in an article on X last week that he had to "super focused" on his company and "back to work hours at 24/7, sleep in a conference/server/factory room."

In an interview on Sunday morning, which will be held throughout Sunday, Musk threw cold water with the title of the bill, officially known as "a large beautiful bill bill" using Trump's description of the legislation's name.

"I think the bills can be big, or they can be beautiful, and I don't know if it can be both." "My personal opinion."

A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The so-called Government Efficiency Initiative, led by Musk, cuts the federal workforce, cuts the size of the government's plan and the Knicks' contracts, with its clear goal of saving federal funds. But North’s efforts have led to a series of lawsuits that critics believe cuts and layoffs have damaged important plans and incite chaos.

Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office expects tax cuts and spending in the bill to increase the federal deficit by $2.3 trillion in 10 years, an incredible point for the conservative fiscal Hawks.

Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis. , Sunday likened large spending to "mortgaging our kids' future," he said in an interview with CNN's "League State" that he believes there are enough "Republicans" to "stop the program" for changes.

Similarly, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky).

Republican senators also have to compete with their caucus factions, which express concerns about certain cuts in programs such as Medicaid. The bill is expected to revoke health care for about 8.6 million people, according to the Congressional Budget Office, although House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) believes the cuts are “working on factors of fraud, waste and abuse.”

R-Mo. Senator Josh Hawley urged his colleagues to avoid cutting Medicaid in a column in the New York Times this month.

“If Republicans want to be a working-class party (if we want to be a majority party), we must ignore the call for Medicaid cuts and start making promises for America’s commitment to American workers,” Hawley wrote in the column.

Any changes to the bill in the Senate must also be passed by the House. The bill divides the shaver margin at a large rate along the party at a high rate with a 215-214 votes.
