Trump brushes aside Elon Musk’s criticisms of his signature budget bill

Elon Musk criticized President Trump's budget proposal, known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill," for potentially increasing national debt and cutting funding for essential programs like Medicaid. Despite backlash from fiscal conservatives, Trump deflects blame onto his own team tasked with spending cuts. Meanwhile, tensions within Trump’s administration arise over Musk’s role, with concerns about his business ventures conflicting with government operations, including profit-seeking activities. The budget includes tax cuts and infrastructure projects but risks leaving millions in poverty due to strict work requirements on social programs.
