TSLA--
White House officials have responded to Musk's criticism, with press secretary Caroline Levitt stating that the president remains steadfast in his support for the bill. Levitt emphasized that the president is aware of Musk's stance and that his position on the bill remains unchanged [1].
House Speaker Mike Johnson also weighed in on the matter, criticizing Musk's remarks and stating that Musk's views on the bill were "terribly wrong." Johnson noted that he had spoken with Musk about the bill and highlighted its merits, but Musk's criticism was unexpected [1].
The bill, which Musk has been critical of, includes expanding tax cuts for companies and high-income families, and allocating $70 billion to the budget for border wall construction and immigrant deportation. Musk has argued that the bill increases the federal deficit by more than $2.5 trillion and places an unsustainable debt burden on U.S. citizens [1].
Despite Musk's criticism, the White House has maintained a position of unity, with Levitt describing Musk's opposition as "one disagreement" in an otherwise harmonious relationship. This response underscores the administration's commitment to pushing forward the bill despite the public backlash [1].

White House official: Musk's opposition is 'one disagreement' in an otherwise harmonious relationship
In a series of tweets on X, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has publicly criticized the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a massive tax cut bill being pursued by U.S. President Donald Trump. Musk described the bill as a "disgusting abomination" and "outrageous," stating that it is a "huge, shocking, Congressional Budget with all sorts of useless items." He also expressed disappointment with the bill's potential impact on the federal deficit and the DOGE team's efforts to manage government efficiency [1].White House officials have responded to Musk's criticism, with press secretary Caroline Levitt stating that the president remains steadfast in his support for the bill.
