Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday doubled down on his distaste for President Trump's sprawling tax and spending cuts bill, arguing the legislation that Republican senators are scrambling to pass would kill jobs and bog down burgeoning industries. "The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country," Musk wrote on X on Saturday as the Senate was scheduled to call a vote to open debate on the nearly 1,000-page bill.
Main Idea: Elon Musk renewed his attack on President Donald Trump’s big tax and spending bill, saying it would kill jobs and harm future industries.
Key Points:
If the bill passes, workers and households could face job losses, higher deficits, and cuts that favor older industries over new ones.
Republicans may keep a major tax and spending plan moving, which could give some businesses and voters policy certainty.
