President Trump's Big Spending Bill Proves That DOGE Was Never Real
Elon Musk, former head of the Department of Government Efficiency, comes out against President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful" spending bill
Elon Musk, head of X, Space X, and Tesla, was tasked by President Trump to create a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to find and eliminate wasteful spending by the United States central government, which Musk jumped into with gusto, posting his proposed cuts on X for all to see. Less than half a year later, however, Musk has left the DOGE, and the Trump regime entirely, and is coming out against Trump’s proposed spending bill which Trump is calling the “Big Beautiful Bill” or BBB. I can’t speak to beautiful, but it’s certainly big in that it is a big spending bill that will inevitably lead to big tax increases and big inflation.
President Trump, needless to say, has a different view of the bill:
This idea that spending more money somehow constitutes a spending cut, whether it’s by “saving us money down the road” or some other magic beanstalk, is what politicians wasting our money have been saying for decades. Spending more is not a spending cut, and, to quote Ron Paul, “Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations…” That President Trump is the one saying this nonsense doesn’t make it true, and whether you’re a Trump supporter or not you can still point out when he is lying or wrong. as he is here. Whatever Trump may say about Congressman Thomas Massie or Sentator Rand Paul because of their opposition to his big spending bill, they’re right and telling the truth, and now Elon Musk is telling you as well. If you really want to Make America Great Again then you need to listen to them, not Trump.
