Rep. Thomas Massie recently chastised Speaker Mike Johnson for his remarks regarding Elon Musk's opposition to the Trump-backed Big Beautiful budget bill. Massie has consistently opposed this tax and spending bill, which angered both Trump and Johnson. He argued that Musk's criticisms are principled, not self-serving. Massie praised Musk for his entrepreneurial spirit, stating that his involvement in politics demonstrates a commitment to the country's future, especially when financial stability is at stake. Johnson, by contrast, suggested Musk's opposition was based on his interests but expressed a desire to resolve tensions within the party.
Massie insists that Musk's criticism of the Big Beautiful Budget bill is not self-serving, calling him a true America First entrepreneur who acts out of patriotism.
Johnson implied that Musk's interest in saving the electric vehicle tax incentives is primarily due to the benefits for Tesla, reflecting the ongoing GOP division.
