CNN Data Chief Explains Why Elon Musk Is 'So Upset' At Trump On Megabill
HuffPost
Harry Enten discussed how the billionaire's criticism doesn't exactly mesh well with the views of the GOP.
CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten on Wednesday argued that ex-White House adviser Elon Musk isn’t a fan of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” because it has far-from-notable impact on reducing the federal deficit.
“No wonder Elon Musk is so upset,” Enten told CNN’s John Berman.
The billionaire took to his social media platform Wednesday where he ramped up criticism of the GOP-backed legislation and pushed for Americans to “KILL the BILL,” one that cuts taxes for mostly higher earners and slashes Medicaid funding.
In one post, Musk claimed that a new spending bill “should be drafted that doesn’t massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling” by trillions of dollars.
Enten noted that Trump looks to send Congress a rescissions package of cuts made by Musk’s old stomping grounds at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency — cuts that would drop the national debt down by about $9 billion.
