Support in the Senate is waning for President Donald Trump's "one big beautiful bill," which proposes tax cuts and increased spending on the military, border security, and fossil fuels.An analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) shows the bill would increase deficits by $2.8 trillion over the next decade, potentially leaving nearly 11 million people without Medicaid health insurance. Meanwhile, a growing feud between Trump and Elon Musk is fueling more public pressure on the bill. On Thursday, Musk posted dozens of times on social media, highlighting the bill's deficit spending. Trump claims Musk knew about the issues for months but has only recently changed his position on the bill.The feud, along with the CBO report, is raising doubts among Senate Republicans who are debating whether to approve the bill."We've got to find more reductions to really address some of the legitimate concerns of some of the Senate members," Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, said. "I need a commitment to return to a reasonable pre-pandemic level of spending.""The working men and women of this country are going to receive the biggest tax hike that they've ever had before if this bill doesn't pass," Sen. Jim Banks, R-Indiana, said. "This is about extending tax cuts on the people who need it the most."Some moderate Republicans are concerned about the bill cutting too much from Medicaid and eliminating clean energy tax credits, suggesting they may also vote against the bill. All Democrats are pledging to vote "no."" is a great betrayal, and Elon Musk is pointing out that it will add trillions to our deficit and debt," Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Maryland, said. "It will cut taxes on very wealthy people and cut programs like Medicaid."As Trump and Musk's relationship deteriorates, both men are making threats that could have real-world impacts.Trump suggested saving taxpayer dollars by canceling all contracts and tax credits that benefit Musk. The government contracts with Musk's Starlink company, which provides satellite internet, especially in disaster and war zones, and is often used in the U.S. after major natural disasters. The president's bill would eliminate electric vehicle tax credits that benefit Musk's car company, Tesla. Musk also floated the idea of ending a partnership between the government and his company, SpaceX, which transports astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station. Shutting down the program would cut off the main American route between Earth and the ISS.Senate leadership wants the bill passed in the next three weeks.
