In a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sidestepped a question regarding Elon Musk's criticism of a budget bill supported by President Trump. Musk, during a CBS interview, voiced concern that the bill would significantly increase the national deficit. When asked about Musk's remarks, both Trump and Leavitt chose to highlight the bill's importance over addressing the critiques. Leavitt emphasized the president’s pride in the legislation and thanked Musk for his contributions before deflecting pressure to comment directly on his statement.
Leavitt dodged direct commentary on Musk's criticism, instead emphasizing support for the budget bill, demonstrating a clear disconnect from Musk's concerns regarding the national deficit.
Musk expressed disappointment in the budget bill for increasing the deficit, calling into question its ability to be both big and beautiful, indicating a challenging political sentiment.
