MAGA loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene sides with Musk over Trump bill takedown

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene has agreed with Elon Musk's criticism of President Trump's multitrillion-dollar tax cut and spending package, after the latter called it a "disgusting abomination."
  • Greene, who voted to advance the bill, expressed support for Musk "calling out the government," recalling her initial anger at Republicans' spending habits when she ran for Congress in 2020.
  • Despite her criticism, Greene defended the spending bill, stating it was important to transition away from continuing resolutions and towards what the American people voted for.
  • Musk, who donated to Trump's campaign, condemned the bill as a "massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill," drawing agreement from Sen. Rand Paul.
  • The bill is projected to add at least $3.8 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years and faces challenges in the Senate due to objections from various Republican factions.
