Musk and Trump Criticized for Cutting $190 Million from Bipartisan 'Give Kids a Chance' Childhood Cancer Research Funding
Dec 20, 2024, 03:07 PM
Elon Musk, worth an estimated $440 billion, and Donald Trump have been criticized for their roles in the failure of a bipartisan funding bill, which resulted in the exclusion of $190 million in funding for childhood cancer research. The original bill, which included provisions for the bipartisan 'Give Kids a Chance' program aimed at pediatric cancer research, was scrapped after Musk's online campaign against it and Trump's demands for additional measures. GOP lawmakers were influenced by Musk's actions, leading to the revised bill, which did not pass the House, omitting funding for the 'Give Kids a Chance' program, among other provisions. This decision has drawn ire from lawmakers and advocates who argue that the cuts prioritize tax breaks for billionaires over critical medical research.
