Republicans to Pass Trump's Tax Bill Despite Musk's Objections, Says Speaker Johnson

Speaker Mike Johnson has confidently stated that Republicans intend to pass President Trump's tax bill, regardless of criticism from Elon Musk.

Johnson Downplays Musk's Influence

Despite Musk's description of the bill as an "abomination" and his call for voters to reject it, Johnson minimized Musk's sway over the GOP-controlled Congress. He emphasized that the legislation is designed to benefit hardworking Americans.

"What we're trying to do is help hardworking Americans who are trying to provide for their families and make ends meet," Johnson stated.

Minimal Public Outcry

Johnson also noted that there has been little public opposition to the bill, suggesting that constituents are taking a "wait and see" approach.

The bill is currently awaiting approval in the Senate after successfully passing through the House.

Musk's Threats Dismissed

Johnson dismissed Musk's threat to financially support opponents of the bill, even if they are Democrats.
