Musk, Hardline Republicans Resist Trump’s Tax and Spending Bill

Hardline conservative Republicans in the U.S. Senate and billionaire Elon Musk remain firmly opposed to President Donald Trump’s tax-cut and spending bill. They are demanding deeper reductions in government spending, arguing the current proposal fails to address long-term fiscal sustainability. Despite pressure from the White House, both factions show no sign of backing down, complicating efforts to unify Republican support. The standoff highlights growing divisions within the GOP over economic policy and federal budget priorities.
