I don’t understand something in all this. Does anyone seriously believe he’s railing against the giveaways to billionaires in this bill?
Because as near as I can tell, what he’s saying, and what every Republican who is rethinking this is saying when they say the bill gives them pause, is: the tax breaks are fine as per usual, the problem is the cuts don’t go nearly far enough.
Elon Musk appears to me to effectively be saying he will not rest until all social benefits in this country are completely and utterly done away with.

In Elon’s case, it’s all about losing money that was going directly to him. Particularly, the loss of ev subsidies.

Musk will not rest until there is a free Tesla for everyone, paid for by the American government.
Privatize profits and socialize losses. It’s the American way.
