Musk Tees Up Softball Questions for Trump on X, After Technical Problems
Tuesday, 13 August 2024 Elon Musk offered frequent praise as he proved a sympathetic partner to help amplify Donald J. Trump’s views on a social-media platform that once barred him for pushing his false election claims.
Well, the much anticipated Elon Musk Donald Trump interview happened last night and despite best efforts, it was fraught with issues. From tech issues to unsubstantiated and downright false claims, the softball interview went as most expected. Veuer’s Tony Spitz has the details.
In a dramatic Independence Day twist, Elon Musk hinted at launching a new third political party in the United States, directly challenging Donald Trump’s influence over the Republican base. Speaking during a July 4 livestream, Musk criticized both major parties as corrupt and incapable of solving America’s problems, declaring the need for “fresh leadership” rooted in technology and transparency.

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud.
Trump labeled Massie a “pathetic loser” and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Musk’s financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massie’s campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party — between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values.

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk.
The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trump’s rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation.
Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.
