US Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday cast the decisive tie-breaking vote in the US Senate as Republicans were able to deliver a legislative victory for President Donald Trump by passing One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping legislative package
Elon Musk called President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" politically disastrous, saying it would destroy jobs and harm the U.S. economy. He described the bill as "utterly insane." Senate Republicans narrowly advanced the bill despite internal opposition, The Hill reported.
President Trump urged Senate Republicans to overrule the parliamentarian after she blocked key parts of his policy bill, including Medicaid cuts. Backed by GOP hardliners, Trump seeks to push his "One Big Beautiful Bill" through before July 4, despite procedural hurdles and Democratic resist
Speaking to NBC News in a phone interview on Saturday, Trump said, "If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that." However, he refused to mention the consequences.
In a post on X on Friday, Vance said, "President Trump has done more than any person in my lifetime to earn the trust of the movement he leads. I'm proud to stand beside him."
Musk intensified his offensive earlier today, cautioning that "America is in the fast lane to debt slavery" while insisting on a comprehensive overhaul of the legislation.
