Shaw has suddenly tried to fail decades of failure to act by the president of the past and the Congress by the Musk.

“My hope is that they have taken the entire government hostage for a long time, and Trump says I am not going to sign a bill that does not balance the budget.” “We will not do this now.”

Musk’s Aerospace Company Space X has billions of dollars with NASA. The Federal Aerospace Agency has honored Musk’s company for more than $ 4 billion for two human moon landing, scheduled for the end of this decade. Also, the Musk Federal Aviation administration has also been in disagreement with the fact that it claims that the bureaucracy is above the limit.

Abu said, “So, you have a person who is not going to endanger his interests, but he is firm about deep deductions that will cost many people on their jobs.” “Even if some expenses are justified, his approach will make many people poorer.”
