On June 5, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Elon Musk was displeased with President Trump's decision to rescind the nomination of his ally to lead NASA. This move escalated Musk's criticism of Trump's "Make America Great Again" tax and spending bill. Musk contends that the bill not only fails to curtail the budget deficit but actually exacerbates it and diminishes government efficiency. He has previously voiced his disappointment with the bill on numerous occasions.
