Elon Musk supports U.S. government shutdown despite Trump

Elon Musk is reportedly advocating for a U.S. government shutdown, despite opposition from Donald Trump. A House-approved bill proposes significant cuts to domestic spending while increasing defense funding, but it faces uncertainty in the Senate. The bill needs Senate approval by a Friday deadline. It includes a $13 billion cut in domestic spending and a $6 billion increase in defense funding. Democrats argue the bill contains partisan provisions, complicating its passage. If the Senate does not approve the bill, a government shutdown could occur, affecting federal agencies and employees. The political dynamics are shifting, with Musk's push for a shutdown contrasting with Trump's stance against it.
