Elon Musk joined a wave of right-wing fury against a bill to keep the government open. Now, the president-elect says he wants big changes too before this weekend's deadline.

The article from NBC News discusses former President Donald Trump's opposition to a bipartisan spending bill, which has increased the likelihood of a government shutdown. Trump, speaking at a rally in South Dakota, urged Republicans to reject the bill, criticizing it for not including sufficient spending cuts and for what he perceives as excessive funding for what he terms "left-wing initiatives." His stance has put pressure on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who is already facing challenges in unifying his party to pass the necessary funding legislation before the government's fiscal year ends on September 30, 2023. This opposition comes amidst ongoing negotiations and disagreements within the GOP on budget priorities, potentially leading to a shutdown if no agreement is reached.
