anchor Dana Bash on Sunday hit back at Sen. Bill Hagerty’s (R-Tenn.) claim that Elon Musk was “the only way we would even know” about the government funding plan after the billionaire trashed the deal on his X platform.

“I think as a senator voting I presume you do your best to read the bills that you’re voting on. I understand it was quite large at the beginning but to say that it was only Elon Musk that made people aware of what was in it, that can’t be true,” she told Hagerty, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
