Balance of Power: Musk Criticizes Trump Tax Bill (Podcast)

5/28/2025
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. The White House will ask Congress next week to enact $9 billion of spending cuts into law — a small portion of the $175 billion in savings that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency claims to have found. The cuts — first floated in April but waylaid amid efforts in the House to pass President Donald Trump’s tax bill — would target funding for the Public Broadcasting Service, National Public Radio and foreign aid in the current fiscal year, according to an Office of Management and Budget spokeswoman. The renewed interest in the rescissions comes as Musk has criticized the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that Trump favored — and which passed the House last week — because it would increase federal deficits.
