President Trump and Elon Musk are in a very public clash on social media, an explosive end to a bromance that began on the President’s campaign trail. The allegations, the X posts, and what’s next–plus, what Congress and the reconciliation bill have to do with the fight. Musk targeted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) in some of his latest social media posts, but Speaker Johnson tells us, “it doesn’t need to be personal.” He explains the GOP rifts over addressing the national deficit. U.S. hiring in May slowed, but not as much as economists expected. CNBC’s Mike Santoli, Steve Liesman, and Rick Santelli join former CBO Director Doug Holtz-Eakin, Nuveen’s Saira Malik, and former Treasury official Kitty Richards to discuss the report and what the numbers tell us about the country’s economic trajectory.
