Billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk opposed House Speaker Mike Johnson’s proposed funding bill, criticizing it on social media as a 1,547-page document filled with “pork.”
The bill aims to prevent a government shutdown and fund operations through March, though Musk wrote bluntly on X: “This bill should not pass.”
Republican leaders defended the stopgap spending bill, saying it would give President-elect Trump more influence on spring budget decisions. Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy expressed skepticism but stopped short of opposing it.
“Currently reading the 1,547-page bill to fund the government through mid-March. Expecting every U.S. Congressman & Senator to do the same,” Ramaswamy wrote on X.
