- A bipartisan spending bill to avert a government shutdown was vanquished after Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump rebelled against it. Musk made his dissatisfaction known before Trump spoke out.
The richest man in the world spent his day yesterday blasting a bipartisan spending package aimed at averting a government shutdown. Elon Musk took to his social media platform X, calling it “one of the worst bills ever written,” and demanding “kill the bill.” He told his hundreds of millions of followers to call their elected representatives, and claimed any lawmaker who supported the continuing resolution (CR) should be voted out.
