Elon Musk isn’t buying the analysis from Speaker Johnson and the Trump administration about the Big Beautiful Bill, and is now working to kill the bill entirely.
He posted on X a little while ago for people to call their Congressman and Senators to kill the bill:
He also posted this from Grok’s analysis, which was aimed at the OMB forecast which we posted about this morning:
@russvought The claim that the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” reduces deficits by $1.4 trillion over 10 years is not supported by most analyses. CBO estimates it increases deficits by $2.3-$3.8 trillion, with CRFB and others projecting $2.6-$3.1 trillion, including interest. The $1.7 trillion in savings lacks clear evidence from CBO. Different baselines and growth assumptions cause discrepancies, but evidence leans toward deficit increases.
The administration says one thing. Others say something else. I feel like we need a delegation from the administration, the Senate and Elon Musk to sit down in a room and hash this out because competing narratives are not helping.
