‘Elon is simply wrong,’ said House Speaker Mike Johnson. But Sen. Rand Paul sided with the DOGE chief, saying, ‘We can and must do better.’
Battle lines are forming in Congress after former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk delivered his harshest criticisms yet toward Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
