And of course, you have people who are fiscal hawks like Senator Ron Johnson, who's been a guest on the show, talking about the shortcomings of the big, beautiful bill in terms of spending. Obviously, this bill maintains Biden levels of spending. It does not, in fact, cut back to 2019 pre-pandemic levels of spending.
And then you have people inside the Republican caucus, like Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri, who thinks the bill actually goes too far in cutting spending. The House bill goes too far by putting work requirements on Medicaid, for example. So as always, you have a fractious Republican caucus. And the question is, what gets through?
What's emerging right now inside the Republican Party is a fight between the ideal and the pragmatic. And neither side is actually wrong in this particular fight. So this has now boiled down to a fight between President Trump and Elon Musk. So Elon, of course, recently left the administration.
He had reached the end of the period of time in which he was capable of holding that office without some form of congressional approval. Over the course of the last couple of days, he put out a tweet saying, quote, I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it.
You know you did wrong. You know it. So that is open war on the so-called big, beautiful bill. Meanwhile, the administration, of course, is pushing forward the big, beautiful bill. So there's been some speculation about what caused Elon Musk to lose it on the so-called big, beautiful bill. That speculation was handed off to Axios by presumably some members of the administration.
According to Axios, Musk and Trump remain friends and allies. Two people in frequent communication with both told Axios that they said Trump was somewhat irked by Musk's social media sabotage. The sources familiar with the Trump-Musk relationship say there appeared to be four inflection points that led to his caustic attack on President Trump's bill.
