Illon Musk’s fiery conflict with President Donald Trump poured into senior Republicans in Congress, where technological billionaire wondered whether their enthusiasm for cutting spending has disappeared.

Musk was launched in an attack on social media this week against Trump’s “big and beautiful bill”, and the Republicans were accused of formulating “disgusting abomination” full of waste spending.

What began as an anesthetic against the bill turned into indicative attacks against Trump, the majority leader of the Senate John Thun, Ruby, Speaker of parliament Mike Johnson, RR.

The technological billionaire and former head of the Ministry of Government’s efficiency in Trump (Dog) regretted the bill that it does not cut deep enough to Washington’s spending addiction. The Republican Parliament’s offer, which is now amended in the Senate, set a target of $ 1.5 trillion in spending discounts.

Musk set a standard to find $ 2 trillion of waste, fraud and abuse to cut it at the DOGE initiative, but it failed a lot, as he recorded only $ 160 billion in his work period for four months as a private government employee.

However, he came with receipts, interrogating whether Trump, Thne and Johnson are already committed to doing deep discounts.

Below are moments of the campaign of the campaign and the last months that Fox News Digital gathered, where the trio confirmed their commitment to put a drain in the debts of the country, which is worth about $ 37 trillion.

Trump on the road in 2024: “We will stop shedding.”

Trump’s joint topic during his 2024 presidential campaign was the match after the Biden administration, and his opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris, due to “delivering billions of dollars from the window”.

The candidate concerned at the time that if he wins a second state, his administration will stop the waste spending.

“We will stop shedding and large government gifts, and finally we defend the American taxpayer, which has not happened since I was president,” he said. “We have stood up. Our current massive deficit will be reduced to anything practical. Our country will be backed by growth. Our country will be operated with growth, its fruits will come, and all this income will happen.”

Thne Renefs promised to reduce spending on “a major and beautiful bill for Trump”: “He does everything we offer to do.”

Thun agreed with his colleagues in the House of Representatives on the Republican Party that the tax reduction package needs to achieve very slope savings, and it is believed that the Republican Senate Party can take these cuts a step forward. After the draft law was submitted by the House of Representatives last month, the Senate republic re -submitted its pledge to cut federal financing.

“He is doing everything we started to do. He is updating our army, provides our borders, extends tax exemption and makes permanent tax exemption that will lead to better economic growth and jobs in this country, and makes American energy dominant, along with the largest decrease in spending in American history,” he said. “So these are the elements of our agenda, and this is what we carried. This is what we will do.”

Johnson after the House of Representatives has passed the budget plan: “What you will see is a continuous topic for us to determine waste, fraud and attack in the government.”

Johnson had to strike a budget law in the House of Representatives to obtain enough support for the legislation, and attracted deals and the satisfaction of the legislators concerned through the Republican Party spectrum in the House of Representatives, with a goal of $ 1.5 trillion in spending discounts. Waste, fraud, and ill -treatment have been a continuous talisman of the speaker and his allies.

Johnson said: “I said that this is a practical beginning, and what you will see is a continuous topic in defining waste, fraud and abuse in the government, and it is our pledge to be common and the restoration of healthy and rational sense,” Johnson said.
