“‘Elon Musk says he is ‘disappointed’ by the price tag of the domestic policy bill passed by Republicans in the House last week and heavily backed by President Trump,’ explains CBS News. The ‘price tag’ is indeed a whopper, if by price we mean what Donald Trump’s ballyhooed ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act or BBB) added to the debt: an expected $3.3 trillion over ten years. … He expressed his ‘personal opinion’ as he was exiting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The exit isn’t the big story. We knew from the beginning that Musk’s time at DOGE was not going to last forever. Which highlights the up-in-the-air aspect of DOGE’s mission and future.” (05/30/25)
