The girls are fighting again. Elon Musk is back to insulting the big beautiful bill. Musk posted on X calling the bill

00:00:08

utterly insane and destructive, saying it will destroy millions of jobs. He's also posted a screenshot of polling

00:00:14

saying the bill is political suicide for the Republican party. I think Trump's going to probably ignore him. I did

00:00:21

predict that Musk would turn again. I just want to say I know this man well, even though I haven't talked to him in a

00:00:27

while, but he's correct. You may not like him. You may think he sucks. I'm in that camp. But uh he's right about this.

00:00:33

This is sacrificing uh the future for the past. It's giving money to billionaires like Musk. The fact that

00:00:39

he's speaking out says a lot actually. It favors previous industries versus newer ones. It uh mortgages our future

00:00:47

on uh on giving a tax break for the very wealthy. It gives a lot of money to ICE

00:00:51

and other organizations that are just about smallness, not about the bigness of America. I don't know if any

00:00:58

Republicans will listen. You've come so far from the party of Ronald Reagan to this travesty and it's an embarrassment

00:01:05

and you will pay uh at the polls. You will pay in the future and history will find you wanting. I don't often agree

00:01:12

with Elon Musk but here we are folks.
