Elon Musk criticized President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” saying it “undermines” what the Department of Government Efficiency is doing – while also admitting the administration’s tariffs have harmed his businesses.
Speaking with CBS News in an interview that aired Sunday morning, Musk, 53, admitted Trump’s tariffs affect his businesses, saying, “You know, tariffs always affect things a little bit.”
