MUSK DERIDES TRUMP’S BILL, SAYING IT WILL “MASSIVELY INCREASE THE ALREADY GIGANTIC” DEFICIT

He calls it “a disgusting abomination.”

(Other vessels under consideration: the Thurgood Marshall, the Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Harriet Tubman, the Dolores Huerta, the Lucy Stone, and the Medgar Evers.)

June is Gay Pride month.  “A defense official said the timing of the decision was intentional.”
