Guess who’s super high and in the mood for a fight? Yip, Elon decided to attack Trump’s stupid bill on his 54th birthday. After the initial Epstein bombshell, Musk not only calmed down considerably, but even apologized for going too far.
Now the question is, was he really sorry, as in sincerely sorry? Answer, of course not. If he was, then there is no way he’d choose to attack Trump’s signature bill, the one that will ultimately crown him king of the jungle. Trump wants the bill on his desk by the Fourth of July.
I’ve been wondering how we’re going to stop this abomination? And then I saw Elon’s post. Now please don’t get me wrong, Elon is undoubtedly the world’s richest POS. As a South African, he really grates on me. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be a useful idiot. We the People need all the help we can get, even better if the two biggest egos in the world inflict maximum damage on each other. It still doesn’t mean I’ll wish him a happy birthday, that shipped has sailed.
SPECIAL KKK: June 28 (Reuters) – Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday criticized the latest version of President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill released by the U.S. Senate, calling it “utterly insane and destructive,” weeks after the world’s richest person and its most powerful ended a feud sparked by Musk’s opposition to the bill.
“The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!” Musk wrote in a post on X.
“It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”
Trump’s massive spending bill was notably the trigger for Musk and the president’s dramatic fall out just three weeks ago, with Musk taking issue with the bill’s estimated $2.8 trillion spending increases.
Musk – who celebrated his 54th birthday Saturday as he slammed Trump’s bill – also criticized the impact the bill will have on the energy industry, with Musk recently pushing for a sharp increase in solar energy in the US.
Responding to a post that noted the Senate vote ‘could wipe out 500 (Giga Watts) of potential energy generation’ by 2030, Musk wrote: ‘This would be incredibly destructive to America!’
‘At the same time, this bill raises the debt ceiling by $5 TRILLION, the biggest increase in history, putting America in the fast lane to debt slavery!’ he added in another post.
A VERY UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ELON POS: Senate Republicans have narrowly advanced a sprawling budget bill that is pivotal to President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda ahead of a self-imposed 4 July deadline.
The Senate moved 51-49 to open debate on the bill. Two Republicans joined Democrats in opposing the move. Republican party leadership had been twisting arms for the initial vote on what Trump calls his “Big Beautiful Bill” on Saturday, after the release of its latest version – all 940 pages – shortly after midnight.
Republicans were divided over how much to cut welfare programmes in order to extend $3.8tn (£2.8tn) in Trump tax breaks. The proposed cuts would strip millions of America’s poorest of health insurance. Trump declared the progress a “great victory” in a late-night social media post.
He attacked Republicans Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who rejected the bill, writing of Paul: “Did Rand Paul Vote ‘NO’ again tonight? What’s wrong with this guy???”
Paul opposes a provision in the bill that would raise the US debt limit. Tillis says the legislation would cost his state billions of dollars in healthcare funding. He cited the impact on Medicaid, the healthcare programme relied on by millions of elderly, disabled and low-income Americans.
However, the bill did win over some Republicans who had expressed scepticism, including centrist Republicans Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin initially voted against it, but changed his vote at the end of the session.
Vice-President JD Vance had travelled to the Capitol on Saturday night to offer a tiebreak vote in the Senate, where the vice-president has the deciding vote in the event of deadlock.
Party leaders were ultimately able to negotiate majority support without his help, but the bill’s fate on the Senate floor remains uncertain and Republicans in the chamber continue to quarrel over its provisions.
A final vote is expected in the coming days.
The bill needs a simple majority to clear the Senate. With Republicans holding 53 seats out of 100, plus Vance’s tiebreaker, the party can only afford three defections.
If passed in the Senate, the bill would go back to the House of Representatives for approval. Republicans can only stand to lose a handful of votes there – but some in the House have concerns over the Senate’s changes to the bill, which was adjusted to appease backbench Republican holdouts.
