What does Musk’s fight mean with Trump for the “great nice bill?” Not much, said Mike Johnson.

With unusually crazy enthusiasm bursting With the mega-millionaire Elon Musk.

The republican leader of the room and the fervent Trump Ally said that Musk’s criticism on the huge GOP Fillet in tax and budgetary policy will not derail the measurement, and he has minimized the influence of musk on the congress controlled by the GOP.

“I did not go out to develop legislation to please the richest man in the world,” said Johnson on “this week” of ABC. “What we are trying to do is help the Americans who try to support their families and join both ends,” said Johnson.

Johnson said he had exchanged text messages with Musk since the former Trump government ministry’s Ministry of Efficiency had spoken out against the GOP bill.

Musk called it an “abomination” that would add to American debts and threaten economic stability. He urged voters to flood Capitol Hill with calls to vote against the measurement, which is pending in the Senate after cleaning the room. His criticism sparked a angry with social media With Trump, who told journalists this weekend that he had no desire to repair his relationship with Musk.

The president was disdainful of Musk’s threats to finance the opponents – even the Democrats – of the Republican members who support Trump’s bill.

“We have almost no calls to offices, any republican member of the congress,” said Johnson. “And I think it indicates that people take an attitude of waiting and to see some who can be convinced by some of his arguments, but the others understand: this is very exciting legislation.”

Johnson argued that Musk still believes that our policies are better for human fulfillment. They are better for the American economy. They are better for everything that is involved in his innovation, his job creation and his entrepreneurship. ”

The speaker and other Republicans, including the Trump’s White House budget, continued their boost on Sunday against forecasts that their tax and budgetary plans will add to annual deficits and have moved a national debt that already climbs around 40 billions of dollars.

Johnson insisted on the fact that Musk has bad information and that the speaker challenged the forecasts of the Budget Office of the non -partisan congress which marks budgetary legislation. The bill would extend Trump 2017 tax cuts, would reduce expenses and reduce some other samples, but would also leave some 10.9 million more people without health insurance and peak deficits of 2.4 billions of dollars during the decadeAccording to CBO analysis.

The speaker a lean with the republican arguments have done for decades: This drop in taxes and discounts of expenditure would stimulate economic growth which guarantees that deficits are falling. Annual deficits and global debt actually increased during the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, and During Trump’s first presidencyEven after swallowing tax discounts.

Russell Vought, who runs the Budget and Management Board Office, said on Fox News on Sunday that CBO analysts base their “artificial basic lines” models. Since the 2017 tax law has set the rates lower at the expiration, estimates of CBO costs, explained Vought, presuming a return to higher rates before the entry into force of this law.

Vought has recognized that CBO’s accusation of Congress is to analyze the current law and law as written. But he said that the office could publish additional analyzes, which implies that it would be more user -friendly for GOP’s objectives. When asked if the White House would ask for alternative estimates, Vought again put the burden on CBO, repeating that the rules of the congress allow the office to publish more analysis.

Other Republicans, on the other hand, approached the battle of Trump-Musk with caution.

“As a former professional fighter, I learned a long time ago, I am not between two fighters,” said Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin on the “Union State” of CNN.

He even compared the two billionaire businessmen to a married couple.

“President Trump is one of my friends but I don’t need to get, I can have friends who have disagreements,” said Mullin. “My wife and I love me a lot and from time to time, in fact, very often, sometimes she does not agree with me, but that does not mean that we cannot remain focused on what is best for our family. Right now, there may be a disagreement, but we are laser on what is best for Americans. ”
