Elon Musk on Thursday criticized House Democrats for the failed spending bill, calling it a super fair and simple bill on X. The legislation was brought forward by House Speaker Mike Johnson, a prior bipartisan failure due to opposition from Musk and President-elect Trump. Only two Democrats supported the measure. Thirty-eight Republicans voted against the legislation, highlighting challenges for Trump in uniting the GOP majority. This resistance may complicate passing future bills with a higher debt ceiling.
