The rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump deepened after Musk urged his followers to oppose Trump’s budget bill, calling it an "abomination" that risks "debt slavery." The $2.4T deficit-spending plan extends Trump-era tax cuts and boosts border security but could strip 11 million of healthcare. Republicans are divided, with some senators pressured to rewrite the bill despite Trump’s demands. Democrats have seized on GOP Senator Joni Ernst’s blunt dismissal of concerns over Medicaid cuts, branding the bill the "We’re All Going to Die Act." The White House insists the bill will curb spending, but Senate Republican support remains uncertain. Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro reports from Washington, DC.
