Musk sarcastically responds to Schiff’s praise of his stance on Big Beautiful Bill
The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has reached new heights, with Musk jokingly reconsidering his stance on the Big Beautiful Bill after receiving praise from California Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff. However, despite this brief moment of agreement, the two continue to clash over their objections to the bill.
Both Musk and Schiff view the Big Beautiful Bill as problematic, albeit for different reasons. Musk believes the bill raises government spending too much, while Schiff criticizes its content as being \”far-right\” and \”dangerous.\” Musk’s recent departure from the White House seemed amicable, with Trump thanking him for his work and even giving him a symbolic \”key to the White House.\” However, tensions quickly escalated after Musk publicly criticized the bill.
Following the bill’s passage in the House, Musk called it a \”disgusting abomination\” and criticized those who voted for it. His comments received mixed reactions from Republicans, with some agreeing with him and others expressing surprise. The feud between Trump and Musk intensified as they traded barbs on social media and TV, with Trump expressing disappointment in Musk and accusing him of being aware of the bill’s contents.
The exchange led to explosive tweets from both parties, with Musk making unsubstantiated claims about Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and endorsing a message calling for Trump’s impeachment. Trump, in turn, stated that he had no interest in speaking to Musk and believed that \”Elon’s totally lost it.\”
While it remains uncertain whether Trump and Musk will reconcile, the current state of their relationship appears strained. Despite their previous working relationship, the fallout over the Big Beautiful Bill has created a divide that may be difficult to bridge. As the feud continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these two influential figures will navigate their differences in the future.
