The House passed President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” in a narrow vote last week. The  legislation – which is over 1,000 pages long – is the signature of Trump’s second term, as it would enact his hallmark tax and immigration policies. However, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said it could add 2.3 trillion to the national debt, and that’s seemingly a pain point for Elon Musk. In a snippet of an interview airing Sunday on CBS, the world’s richest person said he was "disappointed" with the bill.
