Overview

  • The US Senate began marathon voting on Trump’s $4.5 trillion One Big Beautiful Bill with a self-imposed July 4 deadline.
  • Elon Musk called the legislation “utterly insane and destructive” and vowed to help unseat any lawmaker who backs the package.
  • The Tesla and SpaceX CEO pledged to launch an “America Party” the day after the bill passes to break the Democrat-Republican duopoly.
  • President Trump countered by warning he would strip federal subsidies from Musk’s companies and deploy DOGE to probe his business interests.
  • Trump also told reporters he would “have to take a look” at deporting the South Africa-born billionaire if the feud continues.
