EXCERPT:
ZANONA: "Well, there's certainly unity among Republicans when it comes to them being annoyed with Elon Musk. I would not use the word 'unity' when it comes to the bill itself. This bill was already facing very significant headwinds even before Musk weighed in. So I think if it does fail, it's not going to be because of Musk. I ultimately think that if they do pass something, maybe not by July 4th. That being said, I think it’s a messaging problem for Republicans with this Musk criticism, because remember, they empowered Elon Musk, they made him the authority figure on fiscal responsibility. And so for now -- them to dismiss his concerns, valid concerns, about how much this bill adds to the deficit, I think that's a problem.”
