Rep. Chip Roy Reacts to Musk’s Criticism Of The Trump-Backed Spending Bill: ‘He’s Speaking Truth About The Moment’

Texas Republican Congressman Chip Roy joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to give his take on Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s blistering criticism of President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”, which was passed by the GOP-led House last month.

“I think Elon is speaking truth about the moment, about the need to be much bigger and better than what we’re doing. We need to cut more spending. We need make sure deficits are going down. But I’ll also say, and I’d say this with all due respect, I don’t think he loves all of our subsidy reductions with respect to the solar and battery restrictions that we have in there gutting the Inflation Reduction Act. But also in fairness to him, I think he’s an equal opportunity basher of subsidies. I think you’d say, look, if you can get rid of all the subsidies, including carbon sequestration, which we didn’t do, I think he would agree that, you know, if you can do it fairly, he probably supports that. So, look, Elon’s doing great. DOGE was a great thing. And I appreciate him speaking truth when the world needs to hear truth, that we need to be more aggressive on spending.”

Jimmy and Rep. Roy also discuss the legal hurdles the Trump administration has faced during its effort to deport criminal illegal aliens. Listen to the podcast to hear their full conversation!
