The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by one vote in the House after weeks of overnight committee debates and last-minute huddles in House Speaker Mike Johnson's office. Coined by Trump himself, he has championed the legislation to fulfill his key campaign promises, including border security, American energy production and tax cuts.
ELON MUSK WARPATH AGAINST TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' RATTLES HOUSE GOP
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is under consideration by both a Republican-led White House and Congress. But it's faced hiccups in the Senate this week as Republicans have indicated they do not support the bill in its current form.
Leading the charge against Trump's champion legislation is Musk, who has been a fixture of the second Trump administration through his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk was a "special government employee" until his leadership timeline expired last week.
And Musk's newfound freedom from the executive branch seems to have inspired him to speak out about Trump's bill.

However, Greene's newfound issue with the bill has to do with its 10-year restriction on states regulating artificial intelligence (AI).
The provision reads, in part: "Except as provided in paragraph (2), no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce, during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, any law or regulation of that State or a political subdivision thereof limiting, restricting, or otherwise regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems entered into interstate commerce."
Greene, who voted in favor of the bill two weeks ago, said on X: "Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this, and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there."

Not only does she regret her vote, but Greene is urging the Senate to remove the provision, or she won't vote for the bill when it returns to the House.
"We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years, and giving it free rein and tying states' hands is potentially dangerous. This needs to be stripped out in the Senate. When the OBBB comes back to the House for approval after Senate changes, I will not vote for it with this in it," Greene said.
