The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Musk and others are free to disagree with the president and his bill. But they can't ignore the record amount of mandatory savings included in it, not to mention the economic growth it will spark in order to offset initial deficit increases. Passing this bill will be a major victory for Republicans.

The White House

Anti-Trump narrative

There should be far more concern surrounding this bill, especially given the objections from Elon Musk and several GOP members — even as Trump and others push aggressively for its passage. Regardless of how much DOGE has saved American taxpayers, the numbers show this bill will have the opposite effect on America's budget.
