Johnson After Musk Critique: Bill Can Be Big, Beautiful

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., defended the reconciliation bill recently passed by the House amid criticisms from Elon Musk.

In an interview Thursday, Johnson said he reached out to his “good friend Elon” after Musk bashed the bill in an interview with CBS News.

“I sent my good friend Elon a long text message explaining it can be big and beautiful,” Johnson said on Fox News.
