MUSK GOES ROGUE! Denounces Trump Budget Buster Reconciliation as an "Abomination"

[RobDownSouth]

The Leader of "DOGE Nation" calls Trump's Budget Reconciliation Act an "abomination".
I'm cynical enough to think this is a performative stunt designed to help ensure passage, because Musk is more toxic than Trump and if HE (Musk) is against it than it must somehow be "good" for Murica.

 

[Politruk]

Musk says it's an abomination because it doesn't cut spending enough.

 

[PaxNurgle]

It will actually INCREASE the deficit, not decrease it. Not that Musk isn't toxic and morally bankrupt, obviously he is, but I do believe he does feel a certain amount of betrayal here.

Babyboozer will be by soon to tell us that increased spending is "normal" and that we should just trust the felon who was convicted of fraud.

I think this is a rebranding effort by Musk - perhaps to regain his lost brand.

Like many diplomatic efforts, he probably ran these displays of admonition/outrage by Trump. Seems too impulsive, after having spent > $250 million on campaign.

Musk is angry that EV credits are going away. He’ll have to accept it. The bill is going to pass.

Just like you'll have to accept that you're a racist hypocrite:

BabyBoomer50s calling others "racist":

Keep defending your jew-hating pals you racist POS.

Like many progressive Democrats, she is an unhinged racist.

BabyBoomer50s being racist:

[Elizabeth Holms riots] Geez, the case hasn’t even gone to the jury and the rioters in CA are already looting the high end fashion stores. If the verdict goes the wrong way the streets of Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and LA could be filled with blondes in black turtlenecks. Not even going to guess how this would all go down if she were black.

I definitely smell a pork product.

The tax credit for battery production in the House bill doesn’t phase out until 2020. The Senate should make that happen sooner.

2020 was five years ago.

Musk is also interested in salvaging the Tesla brand. This faux "break" with Trump is a cheap ploy to do that.

Sounds like you've read more of the bill than the Republicans who voted for it.

That's not a compliment.

 

[MajorRewrite]

I wonder how long it will be until the MAGA sheep turn against Musk? Elon has committed the sin of criticizing Trump, and that cannot stand.

If the MAGA sheep boycott Tesla and Xitter, Musk won’t have any customers left to fleece.

Any minute now, the MAGA pundits will be demanding the cancellation of Musk’s many contracts with the government.

To be fair, that was the last time he was sober for more than 8 hours.

Too bad House Democrats didn’t read it. Every one of them voted for a $4.6 trillion tax hike.

Is that what they voted for?

Republicans pretend to be concerned about deficits, but their bill cuts taxes by $3.75 trillion resulting in $2.4 trillion in increased deficits.

If they actually cared about deficits, the solution would be obvious. Ditch the tax cuts to change $2.4 trillion higher deficits to $1.3 trillion lower deficits.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Yes

Yes

Incorrect. Democrats didn’t vote for anything. They voted against the Clown Show bill.

If the TCJA individual rates expire, it will result in a $4.6 trillion tax hike. That would crush the economy and explode the deficit. Democrats voted for that.

The $2.4 trillion over ten years is a CBO estimate based on static analysis. We’ve seen this flaws in that methodology before. Most recently in the aftermath of the TCJA. CBO projections proved to be way off.

That’s not to say the BBB is perfect. The “cuts” are merely a modest reduction in the rate of spending growth. Conservatives want real reductions that will result in real debt reduction. Unfortunately, Republicans in Democrat leaning districts are afraid to do that because Dems are already complaining about the reduced rate of spending increases.
