Musk has launched a campaign against the sweeping Republican bill to advance Trump's agenda, and the president is considering how to respond, according to a White House official.

Musk, who formally left his job working for Trump on May 30, has been publicly lambasting the Republican president's signature legislation that would extend 2017 income tax cuts and implement new tax cuts on tipped wages and overtime that were central promises from his successful 2024 presidential campaign.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order raising tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50% on Tuesday afternoon.
