White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields joins Fox Across America With guest host Paul Gleiser to share his reaction to Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s blunt criticism of President Trump’s “one, big beautiful bill”, which was passed by the GOP-controlled House last month.
“The president, this administration are immensely grateful to Elon Musk. And his contributions to this administration as an SGE and someone who played a critical role in bringing forth DOGE to the federal government, which has already yielded about $175 billion in savings. And you all have been covering it. We just sent $9.8 billion of recessions to Capitol Hill, which are going to be codifying some of these cuts. So one, we want to thank Elon Musk. Two, we want to acknowledge a simple truth, Elon Musk is a CEO of many companies, including Tesla. He is acting as a businessman and he is speaking in his personal capacity about what will impact his companies. And he is focused on being committed as a CEO. But I’ll tell you this, President Trump is the CEO of America. And he owes it to the American people to get this bill passed, because this is exactly what he said he was going to do. And that’s our focus here.”
