Republicans in the U.S. Congress have chosen to side with Trump in the public dispute between Trump and Elon Musk, which is seen as an optimistic sign that the tax reform bill will finally pass smoothly. Lawmakers have mostly followed Trump’s instructions and firmly supported the $3 trillion bill. Musk has previously threatened to give primary help to any congressional candidate who votes against the bill, but lawmakers believe that maintaining good relations with the president is a safer option for political survival. House Speaker Johnson said: "There is no danger in the tax reform bill, and we will definitely let it pass… I tell you – don’t doubt, don’t question, and don’t challenge President Donald Trump. He was the leader of the party and the most influential political figure of our time. "
