"He's a complete joke": GOP rage with Musk spills out privately after break with Trump

House Republicans are expressing frustration with Elon Musk behind closed doors, with some lawmakers calling him a "complete joke" and saying he had no idea what he was doing. Musk has been criticizing Republicans' tax and spending cuts bill, calling it an "disgusting abomination" and calling for politicians who supported it to be fired. Some lawmakers are upset that Musk, who benefits from tax credits for electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla, is advocating for policies that serve his own interests. Republicans have been reluctant to criticize him publicly due to his vast wealth and influence. However, some lawmakers are speaking out against Musk, calling his comments "ridiculous" and saying he has no experience in elected office. The tension between Musk and Republicans is also reportedly causing friction with President Trump, who is said to be "pissed off" at Musk. Despite the backlash, Musk still has some supporters in Congress, including fiscal hawks who agree with his views on reducing the deficit.
