💨 Abstract

Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican ally of former President Donald Trump, dismissed criticisms from Elon Musk regarding the GOP's tax and budget policy bill. Johnson asserted that the legislation aims to help working Americans and downplayed Musk's influence. Despite Musk's claims that the bill will increase U.S. debts and threaten economic stability, Johnson argued that lower taxes and spending cuts will spur economic growth, reducing deficits.
