开撕！老美内部自顾不暇

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump due to a new legislative proposal called the "Big and Beautiful Act," which primarily benefits the wealthy while cutting social welfare programs for the poor [1][21]. Summary by Sections Legislative Changes - The "Big and Beautiful Act" proposes three main actions: 1. Continued tax cuts for the wealthy, with significant reductions in tax liabilities for corporations like Apple, which could save $13.5 billion in taxes based on projected profits of $97 billion in 2024 [1]. 2. An increase in military spending by 28% over five years, benefiting Trump's financial backers [11][15]. 3. Cuts to healthcare subsidies by $700 billion and food stamps by $267 billion, affecting 20 million people’s access to healthcare and 41 million people's access to food [19][20]. Musk's Reaction - Musk, typically an ally of the wealthy, is outraged because the act excludes renewable energy companies from the tax cuts, indicating a direct attack on his interests [4][3]. - He has criticized the act for potentially increasing the fiscal deficit, which is already projected to be $2 trillion annually [8][9]. Economic Implications - The article highlights the contradiction in Trump's approach, where he calls for debt reduction while simultaneously raising the national debt ceiling from $36 trillion to $40 trillion [24]. - The internal conflict within the U.S. government may provide an opportunity for other countries, as the U.S. may have less capacity to engage in international disputes [31][32].
