EXCLUSIVE: The No. 2 House Republican is dismissing Elon Musk's attacks on President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" after the tech billionaire once again jumped into the public fray over the legislation. "His criticism has been consistently off-base," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital on Monday.

Musk said in an X post on June 11 that some of his remarks on Trump had gone "too far."But the argument is heating up again, with Trump suggesting the cost-cutting DOGE, which Musk previously led, would now be turned to focus on his companies.
