00:00Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, according to Forbes.
00:04He also was working as a special government employee up until last week,
00:09and he said this about the bill, quote,
00:11I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore.
00:13This massive outrageous pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
00:18Shame on those who voted for it.
00:19You know you did wrong. You know it.
00:21What are your thoughts on this break from Elon Musk,
00:24and do you think this is going to move the needle at all in the Senate?
00:27Well, it's rare that I find myself agreeing with Elon Musk this year,
00:32but I happen to agree with him.
00:34Shame on my Republican colleagues who voted for this bill.
00:37And, you know, again, we cannot pass this bill.
00:40People are going to die. People are going to lose their jobs.
00:44The economy is going to tank, and America is not going to be strong.
00:48It's not going to be great again.
00:49America is going to be weaker and sicker,
00:51and it will be thanks to President Trump and this bill and the Republicans who vote for it.
