GOP senators react to Musk’s threats to Trump’s primary challenges of Trump

Tesla and the CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk, threatened to support the main challenges of the GOP senators who vote in favor of the “big and beautiful Bill” by President Donald Trump, causing a decline in certain senators who spoke to Fox News Digital.

“I will take the approval of President Trump on Elon any day of the week at home,” Kansas Gop Roger Marshall told Fox News Digital.

“Look, we have to adopt this bill because he helps to carry out President Trump’s agenda. His priorities were to guarantee the border, bring prosperity and security. I think that if we do these things, if we bring prosperity and security, we will re -elected the re -elected. Elon continued his little spit, we will ignore it.”

GOP senator, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, told Fox News Digital that the “result” is that “51 of us would vote for that this evening”.

“”I saw some of the things he has turned upside down, the subsidies we delete from energy, you know, wind and solar energy. He thinks that we have to do more with energy, and I agree with it, but we cannot continue to finance it by the federal government. We have to go there and do it in the right direction through a private company as he did. “”

The senator of Missouri Gop, Eric Schmitt, praised Musk’s work in Doge, saying that he had a “ton of respect” for the former chief Doge and said that he should be congratulated for the “incredible thing” he has done for the country, finding the waste, fraud and abuses in the federal government.

“Everyone is entitled to their opinions,” said Schmitt.

GOP Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty told Fox News Digital that when the primary elections will arise in 2026, the country “will already see the advantages of the bill”.

“”We are going to see more growth and more tax advantages, more income benefits, I should say, therefore, I do not think that fate and sadness are predicted by many will manifest itself, “said Hagety.” In fact, I think we open the door to a new golden era, like President Trump likes to say. “”

The South Dakota Gop Senator Jon Hoeven postponed criticism that the bill increases the deficit by arguing that the deficit would be reduced via growth and income savings.

“”I think people understand that you know, did not like the only big and beautiful bill, “said Hoeven.” So I don’t know people have paid, you know, almost as much attention this time. “”

Marshall, when he was asked if he thought that the main threats of Musk would injure the Republicans halfway through, said: “I did not think about it today.”

“”It would be a big speedbar in some states, in Kansas, probably not so much. I think President Trump was extremely popular in most of these states. I think we have to find a way to bring Elon back on board. She is an intelligent person, brings a lot to our economy. Let’s see how to bring Elon back into the fold here. “”

Musk intensified his current quarrel with Trump and his allies this week in a political warning to the legislators he would work to dislodge them if they vote to support Trump’s bill.

“Anyone who campaigned on the promise to reduce spending, but continues to vote on the biggest increase in the debt ceiling in history will see his face on this primary poster next year,” Musk posted X on Monday evening.

The message was accompanied by an image of Pinocchio seated on fire and legend, “Liar voted to increase America’s debt by 5,000,000.00”

“Each member of the Congress who campaigned to reduce public spending, then immediately voted for the greatest increase in the debt in history should suspend their heads! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this earth,” said Musk in a post On X Monday.

Tuesday morning, when the bill was debated in the Senate, Trump warned That the Ministry of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) is a “monster that may have to go back and eat Elon”.

“Doge is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t it be terrible?” Trump said to the media on Tuesday morning by leaving for a trip to Florida Everglades to visit a new migrant detention center. “He obtains many subsidies. But, Elon was very upset that the EV mandate was interrupted.”

His answer followed a question to know if he would expel Musk, originally from South Africa. Trump replied, “I don’t know, we will have to take a look.”
